GitLab

Created by: Xiphe

Hi,

I would love to have the possibility to download a branch as zipfile using an url like this: http://gitlab.example.org/:repo/repository/archive?ref=:branch&format=zip

I tried this hack https://gist.github.com/2717730 from demelziraptor but it does not work for me in the current version. And i don't like the idea of hacking into the application code either.

I need this because i am trying to develop a workflow for Wordpress Plugin and Theme updates using Gitlab as the File host.

I am currently able to push my update to Gitlab and Wordpress gets notifyed about it. (I'm using a third script to handle the conversation between wp and gl). The only Problem is, that Wordress is unable to handle .tar.gz files and im afraid it's currently not possible to cleanly hook into the wp unzip process. So maybe the solution is gitlab enabling zip downloads.

Thanks for your great work!
