imo. concerns of this sort are a good reason to avoid relying on github.com specific behavior like the automatic .tar/.zip file creation.I'm curious to see your opinion as to why we should not be relying upon GitHub archives. To me, the observed behavior was expected due to the usage of `export-*` attributes, but I might have missed something.
The process github.com uses to create these files may change at any moment in a way which invalidates all previous hashes. Such a change could well be entirely outside the control of a repository owner, and without prior notice. I see more variables/unknowns in this process than the export attributes.
