That's very nice and useful, but I'm not entirely sure it helps in
this specific case.  The proposed idea would be to offer such tarballs
via the API, so that the authentication logic used there would enable
us to ask for tarballs on branches that aren't public but for which
the given user has access.  Would loggerhead enable that kind of
logic?
