A person was complaining in an unrelated issue that he/she couldn't easily get to a link to a package of the current HEAD (or master or w/e u wanna call it), like http://drupalcode.org/project/project.git/snapshot/refs/heads/master.tar.gz for project.module.
I guess it would be nice if there was such a link straight on the project page or the git instructions tab, so unrelated issues won't fill up with discussions about this.

I apologize if this isn't filed under the right project or component, if it isn't don't hesitate to change it!

This is not simple the same thing as a dev release which is updated 2 times a day?
I think that this will be bad: if the code is stable enought, the developer make a dev release, if the code is not, you always can get it from git. Making this available for all projects/branches will make code that is not ready to use available when you do not want to use it.

Yea, I know... all the points you make are pretty valid.
Problem is that when a maintainer doesn't tag a dev release, it won't appear on the project page and some people will starting bitching about "this versioning monster" in totally unrelated issues

I never expected this feature to be implemented, I just wanted an issue I can point to, so unrelated issues will be poisoned less frequently.
