I'm with Sebb here. Yes, our release process is a PITA, but what Sebb is
asking for is what I expect as well. If you want me to evaluate a RC and
VOTE, please make my life and that of all the other reviewers, easier, not
harder.

Sometimes, I download the src zip and build, sometimes, I checkout the
tag...

FWIW, it should take a few minutes to transfer a site. Zip it, transfer it,
unzip it. One file at a time is asking for problems IMO. Or are you saying
that it takes hours to transfer even as a Zip?
