I wouldn't personally really mind getting rid of the .git suffix in both cases. Yes, we are used to seeing the ".git" in the name, but I can't think of any other reasons not to chop it off. Having the .git in the archive name might be even more confusing since there is a pseudo-convention (that I'm not sure anyone except me follows, so maybe not :) that repositories have .git in the name while working trees don't, and that tarball contains a working tree. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Ever try.
