Description
One of the most convenient features on GitHub is the ability to download an entire repository snapshot in a zip file with the click of a button. This is very handy for showing the entire project to clients or other interested parties without having to install a git client (or svn client in this case), or download each file individually.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not as familiar with GitHub as I am SourceForge so I did not know about that feature. We will be sure to take a look at this more closely and get it on the list.

I use this feature in GitHub a fair amount, and thought it was a good suggestion when I saw the new issue alert. It makes it easy for someone to grab a copy of the code quickly so they can at least look at it (if not compile/run it). Thanks Jack.

- Chris - concerned the implementation of this could slow down the server when it gets run, especially if the repos start being used to hold more data (documents, etc)
