Ricardo Martincoski 5d6ec40b75 download/git: clarify why .git is removed
The removal of the .git dir before creating the tarball is not anymore
just an optimization. It is necessary to make the tarball reproducible.
Also, without the removal, large tarballs (gigabytes) would be created
for some linux trees.

Update the comment accordingly.
