ketchup solves that problem. One command brings any tree up to current.

so are you saying that ketchup should be used for _all_ access to the vanilla tree that isn't done via git?

if not then tarballs still have a place.

and how does ketchup deal with patched trees to start with?

If they can't git through a firewall, they won't be able to wget a tarball through
it either.

to work properly git should talk it's own protocol, http/ftp can be allowed (and authenticated) through firewalls that don't allow the git protocol.
