Downloading the current trunk/release as a ZIP archive. I was hoping to use the github facility that exists for downloading ZIPs of the repos. But unfortunately I couldn't make it attached the contents of the indirect references to the library subrepos. Hence the complexity of supporting testing with ZIPs is now a magnitude larger as it means dealing with fetching more than a hundred individual repos :-(
FYI (you might know already), github recently announced that manual uploading of files to github is deprecated [1]. If github's 'downloadable source code archives' does not allow zipping all subrepos (as you found), boost.org server may need to run some cron script to create and host the daily snapshot of 'monolithic' source code.
