$ wget https://github.com/eggert/tz/archive/2016g.zip

Thanks, I had forgotten about that. This approach also works with .tar.gz format: https://github.com/eggert/tz/archive/2016g.tar.gz <https://github.com/eggert/tz/archive/2016g.zip> This is not quite the same as a distribution tarball, though, as it omits automatically-generated files (e.g., 'leapseconds', 'version') and it contains a file that is not distributed ('.gitignore').
