It does let you download many. In theory, you could do:

  http://download.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/1/80000

but it seems they have a per-request cap on processing time, so you have
to do it in chunks. I have done so, and an mbox of articles 1-80000 is
here:

  http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~peff/git-list-archive.mbox.bz2

It's about 57M. Note that the list is currently up to ~80600 or so;
fetching the rest is left as an exercise to the reader.
