Also, a suitable url that doesn't need to be quoted (hence good for a
.info file) is:

https://git.opensvc.com/\?p=multipath-tools/.git\;a=snapshot\;h=refs/tags/0.7.6\;sf=tgz

The benefit of using --content-disposition to derive a good file name
makes things a bit messy though. It's easy enough to add at the CLI but
I expect not so with various build tools.

I used to have it set on by default via .wgetrc and while it worked
mostly OK, there were enough instances where it didn't work as expected
that I now don't have it on by default any more.
