Download a repository archive (tar)
Gets a redirect URL to download a tar archive for a repository. If you omit `:ref`, the repository’s default branch (usually `master`) will be used. Please make sure your HTTP framework is configured to follow redirects or you will need to use the `Location` header to make a second `GET` request. **Note**: For private repositories, these links are temporary and expire after five minutes.
