7 This was so many many years ago in the beginning of github.
8 This has long been fixed since then.
9 Actually, github is just using "git archive" which produces
10 always the same tarball.
11 Only possible exception is if you use .zip instead of .tar.gz
12 because the former (due to FAT compatibility in the format)
13 has to store the timezone. So if the timezone of the github
14 server ever changes, the .zip "tar"ball might also change.
