I'll fetch and checksum later today (currently they continue to match) and see if it changed; it's likely they're equivalent with different creation methods (internally, one from `git archive` versus `git checkout ... && rm -rf .git`).

I'll see if I can't dig up info on their blog or contact them to find out their plans for archive and tarball.
