Summary

This will be more effective at preserving release integrity but
as a practical matter will also circumvent hiccups when http proxies
reject some content.

Is there any point doing this now when the switch to git is imminent?

Thanks! Would you like to do the same in llvm/utils/release/build_llvm_package.bat too?

It doesn't hurt in any case.

I guess it depends on whether fix releases will also use git as the master.

BTW is anyone working on updating test-release.sh to use git instead?

Not that I know. If nobody does it before then, I was planning to look into it when the 10.0.0 process starts. If you're interested and have time, go for it :-)
