i already fixed it and uclibc.org is working off of the git repo now

git cannot checkout a subrepo like svn, thus the entire repo needs to be 
checked out in order to get at just the website

while buildroot doesnt do releases like uclibc/busybox, the same argument 
holds there: having the website in the tarball doesnt really make sense as it 
really isnt useful
