Tom,
Many thanks - that is just what I need.

This seems to do the job, but please confirm that I have it right, and 
that there is not a simpler way, as I'm not conversant with git ;)

#!/bin/bash
ver="3.5.1"
name="gnuradio"
git clone http://${name}.org/git/${name}.git
cd ${name}
git checkout v${ver}
git archive --format=tar --prefix=${name}-${ver}/ v${ver} | \
gzip > ../${name}-${ver}.tar.gz
