----------------------------------
Eh Fil, can we discuss on list? I really feel this is the wrong approach.

> There are too many issues with removing git as a dependency.
> First, with future support coming for moving between different versions, we
> will likely need to download and extract multiple versions of the git repos.
> Second, removing the git dependency and going with just tag downloads from
> github is difficult at this time as the github mirrors are inconsistent and
> keep getting backed up.
> One thing that is stable is the canonical source repo.
> For this issue, remove downloading and extracting tag zipballs. Instead,
> clone the source and checkout the needed tags as necessary.
