... yeah, that's a problem.

If you drive people to sourceforge for distribution, what value is there
in git.postgresql.org?

I need to figure out what to do with pg_filedump. All I need for it
is an SCM and someplace to put release tarballs. I'd prefer to use
git.postgresql.org, but if there's nowhere for tarballs, that's not
going to work.
