does anyone here in the bar know where/how to download a tarball (as opposed to a zip file) of a package/project on github?

so it sends uncompressed .tar and you can compress it? i hope it's not send a zip and converting that to to format. i am thinking of using github but i know some of my packages won't work via zip (it messes up permissions).
got this:
Output:
lt1/forums /home/forums 1> git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

i chose bar because it was off-topic. sure, many python coders may be interested. the git command does not appear to be implemented in python, either.
