Well, with git this works. (I'll yet have to run some automatic |
| 14 |
stress tests, but at all my manual tests worked really fine). |

*If* this might not work somewhere, the little generator script |
| 16 |
could create the tarball only once (on first request) and use |
| 17 |
it all the time. Or add some commit/push hook, etc, etc. |
