It turns out that the kde git repository has a read-only copy at
github, and github has single URL access to download a zip version of a
repository tag head. https://github.com/KDE/kmymoney is the main
starting point for KMyMoney source and
https://github.com/KDE/kmymoney/tree/4.8 shows the git head of the 4.8
branch, with https://github.com/KDE/kmymoney/archive/4.8.zip giving you
a zip file of the tree at that point. I believe there are also ways to
craft a URL to pull from a github repository at any specified commit,
but that's a bit more involved.
