I don't know and, consequently not tested, something like that. My<br>
implementation is based on<br>
<a href="http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-archive-link" target="_blank">http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-archive-link</a> and if<br>
what you shown is a valid Git reference the I suppose that it's<br>
possible and if somebody test this with success we can rename it as<br>
GITHUB_REFERENCE.<br>
