They do have releases available:

https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv/releases

If you want the latest 3.4.0 release, you can use the following link:

https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv/archive/v3_4_0/OpenSubdiv-3_4_0.tar.gz

But if you're needing something that is newer than that release, you can
use a specific commit like Fernando mentioned.
