Hi Bruce,

It would be perfectly fine to me to have an additional copy of the
tarball, however all we maintainers do is push a tag, then the cgit
server does all the magic. The directory name I guess it's based on the
git root directory name on the server.

Thomas, any idea how to do what Bruce is asking?
