I now used https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-FooBar/archive/someTag.zip Github will put the files in a folder named mediawiki-extensions-FooBar-someTag, which is not ideal, but better than risking a mess in the .../extensions folder. If there is a better solution I'd still be interested.
