Is there any opportunity to generate also git archives with source?

[andkirby]

For example we have a source of a package: URL: http://github.com/vendor/prj.git reference: "someHashToMasterBranch"

But GitHub can generate ZIP archive: http://github.com/vendor/prj/archive/master.zip So, satis can generate "dist" for an archive. GitLab can generate it by similar URL: http://gitlab.com/vendor/prj/repository/archive.zip?ref=master

Composer must pass a private_token to GitLab in order to download the ZIP archive directly. This will be possible with the GitLab driver: https://github.com/composer/composer/pull/3765
