Github provides the same capability, but you have to use the git commit 
hash.  For example, the latest commit against master is 
42a3c6f4c65c40b9dcd73272f23bfac379caf2a5, so to pull that from github, 
you would use...

https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/tarball/42a3c6f4c65c40b9dcd73272f23bfac379caf2a5

If you prefer, you can also get 'zipball' instead.  The only difference 
is that this will pull the entire repository, and will place it in

MythTV-mythtv-<tree>

Where tree would be the first seven characters of the hash, or 
'42a3c6f'.  You will have to navigate down to the directory you want to use.
