I guess that will mean those will be mirrored?
That would probably help people from other continents a lot to have a local 
download site for the initial downloads :)

My thinking before reading Eikes email was a tarball with a checkout every 2 
months and I doubt interim tarballs will be needed as the user can just do a
git pull to fetch the rest till 'today'.
This has the advantage of being able to be populated as bittorrents.
