Redownload that every week?

git checkouts take maybe a minute, no unzipping required. Khan-Dam says it takes 3-4 hours to extract the sources. Dunno why something fishy there, maybe needs a better extracter??? In any event, it definitely isn't "next to no time" when redownoading a lot of stuff that didn't change. git is much better if you plan on updating weekly.
