Thanks, I had forgotten about that. This approach also works with 
.tar.gz format:

https://github.com/eggert/tz/archive/2016g.tar.gz 
<https://github.com/eggert/tz/archive/2016g.zip>

This is not quite the same as a distribution tarball, though, as it 
omits automatically-generated files (e.g., 'leapseconds', 'version') and 
it contains a file that is not distributed ('.gitignore').
