Using git for binary files does not make sense.
If you want to host files on OFA server, just create
a world-readable pub_html directory under $HOME and put the files there.
They will be accessible as http://www.openfabrics.org/~<user>/<filename> .

OTOH, do we really want to host a copy on OFA servers?
I thought OSU already host it, we can just wget the SRPM from there. No?
