Have you recently (let's say, in the past month or so)
- Downloaded a git archive from GitHub (the "archive" endpoint, i.e. the .zip/.tar.gz for the files in a git repo at e.g. a tag)
- Had the file successfully transferred, in terms of the HTTP request succeeding
- Had the file be wrong?
Please share any information if you've run into this. As of posting, I've heard three instances of this possibly happening, but all were chalked up as unreproducible random issues. This doesn't feel right.
