It can be completely expected the current behavior.

Version control systems like git don't provide a standard way via a web 
server to obtain a compressed archive at a specific commit/tag/branch.

Nor does it provide access to meta-data. Like tags or branches.

You can get this information and archive by checking out the repository, 
which is more complex to perform and requires the VCS to be installed on 
the node that does it.

Here are the source code for the VCS suppliers that dub-registry 
supports[0].

Note: I would recommend heavily to not create new projects on SF, they 
have been known in recent years to do some nasty stuff with any binaries 
that you may upload.
