<p><a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=181177" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/codebrainz">@codebrainz</a> I'm afraid that won't remove/replace the auto-generated zip/tar of the VCS tag; but yes we could upload the items there as well.  But as "incorrect" auto-generated GitHub links are still there, nothing will be solved.  I hope I'm wrong tho.</p>
<p>I blame GitHub here if it's not possible to disable this, because it clearly goes against a clearly implanted meaning of "release tarball", and apparently confusing users to expect this is more than a Git snapshot. Or maybe the problem is GitHub becoming the only place people look, or maybe it's our fault listing releases on GitHub… anyway, this sounds quite bad as if the OP bothered reporting this, it's highly likely there are many other people having had similar issues, that might or might not have just given up at this step because of apparently bad advertising.</p>
