I’ve got the same.  Maybe it’s cached?  In the past I encountered
servers that would just generate a new tarball after a while.  IIRC it
happened with the mercurial web interface and also with gitweb (e.g. on
https://git.elephly.net).

I don’t know if cgit is any different.  I’ll try downloading this again
tomorrow.  If the file is still the same I’ll assume that it’s stable
and will use the tarball URL instead.

Thanks for checking!
