I don't recall seeing a definition for how source code must be distributed in any free software license. If the server is open for all and the source is properly managed (e.g. clear release notes and repository tags and or branches), is that necessarily inferior to tarballs provided by ftp or http? There does need to be a precise way to obtain the exact sources used to build any binary release and it should be documented. Regardless, directories of tarballs seem best since they are easiest to copy and therefore less likely to be lost.
