Unfortunately, this is of no use for us packagers because we are banned by
policy (and at least in Fedora, this is enforced by the build system) from
downloading stuff during build. We can only work from tarballs. (If we want to
package a snapshot, we have to check it out, tar it, then package the
resulting tarball.)
