GCC recipe using git?
I see that the gcc-6.x recipe is using git instead of a tarball. Is there any way to go back to using tar? I ship mirrored sources to my customers (many are behind corporate firewalls and have limited network access). The file sizes are so vastly different and it's quite the burden to have to carry around a 2.5GB file...

I know this issue, however, I am counting on 6.2 point release coming soon hopefully by next month at that time we will roll forward with tarball. At this point
we are ahead of 6.1 with several patches and would be a pain to revert to using tar + patch, I would like to avoid that
