No, it's not, in the sense that uploading the code (1) only happens
during initialization, and not when the mission server is open for
business, and (2) only needs to talk to Edgar.

OK.  I'll go with your intuition on the tarball (as long as you don't
install GNU tar on the server, which seems to be willing to run as
many external programs as IE and is as full of dubious and unnecessary
features as git :-).
