[Distutils] Thank you for the ability to do `pip install git+https://...`

[Alex Grönholm]

You could always point pip to the automatically generated zip 
(https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock/archive/master.zip). That way you 
won't have to wait for git to pointlessly download your entire version 
history when you just want to install something.
