If you don't want to worry about "interesting" then you can very
easily make a new tar file with every commit. Just put something like
the following into xcb.git/hooks/post-update on the central machine:

	git-tar-tree HEAD xcb | gzip -c > /some/directory/xcb-latest.tar.gz

You can imagine obvious improvements, (keeping old versions, putting
some numeric distinction between them, being careful to make th e
overwriting more atomic, etc.)

Oh, and this creates a tar file of the source as git knows it, which
is different than how you're probably making release tar files, (in
that someone using this tar file will need to have the autotools,
won't yet have a configure script, etc.).

But the above is just so darn fast and easy to do that it seems
tempting to do just that. What it provides is a way for people to get
the latest source without having to have a working git client.
