 Two questions: Does regenerating (e.g. if the tarball has dropped
out of the cache) change its sums (md5sum or similar) ?  In (beyond)
linuxfromscratch we use md5sums to verify that a tarball has not
changed.  Also, will there be links for manpages and htmldocs
tarballs ?

 I note that all of these *are* still available at googlecode for
the moment : https://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list
