Too late to boost my brain with more coffee for today. Not as sharp as I
would like to be ;) .

Still leaves me with the question why a script to download the source
tarballs is needed when just not adding a .gitignore entry for them to
the repos would fix the issue. Could someone involved care to explain
the rationale behind this or point me to a thread where this has been
discussed/explained?

Cheers,
Leonard.
