You alternatively offer the option to unpack a tgz stored in the repo. I think this is dangerous, as it might easily diverge from the state of the repositories. I suggest to simply drop this option and remove the file from the repository.

It was a solution for when GitLab server was down. I think of it as a backup, a vault, that can't hurt.

yes, it was the case in the beginning of the project when GitLab was down.
maybe a solution is to check, time to time, the difference with the state of the repo, and update it from time to time with an auto script.

I still consider this binary blob not good practice. First because you have to make sure that information can't diverge and second because storing binary data (and updating it over and over again) is not something git is made for.

.. But in the end you need to maintain it 😉
