While it will technically work, uploading tarballs and other binaries
to git is a bad idea.  git behaves very badly with larger files such
as 524 KB tarballs because they clutter or obfuscate commit diffs and
they remain in the repository's history forever, making every clone of
the git repository take substantially more time and network traffic to
create.  So if at all possible, please do not upload your tarballs to
git, but rather use the sources file.
