Comment (by snc@…):

 Replying to [comment:16 mojca@…]:
 > I believe that both the SHA sum and the tag should be present. Tag
 doesn't always represent the exact version number (sometimes the version
 needs to be set separately for a github project anyway, but is often clear
 and helpful, often even for livecheck).

 And sometimes tags are never used.

 > I wasn't talking about moving the git repositories. I meant situations
 when the server is not accessible for several days. Or when the sources
 disappear completely (there are certain tar.gz files that are only present
 on MacPorts mirrors and can still be installed, but are otherwise long
 gone from web).

 So we have two issues here: it's not a distfile, and keeping the whole
 repo we'd mean we have to manage history rewrites on our servers.
