Or just turn off the download feature in github. When you prepare a
BioPerl release does it contain anything else not found in the
repository (e.g. compiled documentation)? We have this for Biopython
(compiled PDF and HTML docs) so we prefer to direct casual
release downloads via the website not via the tag on github to
ensure they get these extra files in the archive.
