Yes but then you have to do it on each repository. Alternatively, I can
put all the binaries in a single zip and just send out the shortcut for
it. For the most part I've been very happy with the github interface.
Much better than bitbucket, but the downloads page is one place it could
be more clear.

Yikes. Thanks for that. Clearly you know this way better than I do.
When it comes to git, I'm just a button pusher in Eclipse. Probably
worth spending a little time with the command line and a dummy repository.
