The ExternalLibraries are ET not Cactus, right? We already agreed that
the ET will transition to git (and in the process apparently also
transition Cactus* to git). So we already require git to be present I
think.

I am also not aware of a machine that is in eg simfactory's mdb that
does not contain (some) version of git.

Finally I think rather than checking out a repository of tarballs I'd
try and use eg bitbuckets' option to access a git repository via
http(s) to download only the single tarball of interest (or even have
a svn repository just for the tarballs or download the tarballs from
the developer site [assuming that most projects for which we'd need
tarballs are longer lived than the ET]). Possibly a --shallow git
repository for the tarball can also be used (though that still keeps
history on the local disk when one updates).

Yours,
Roland
