bison git snapshot does not bootstrap

[tys lefering]

Hi,
When using browser to get a branch bison-2.5 snapshot at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=bison.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/branch-2.5

There is a snapshot link pointing to:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=bison.git;a=snapshot;h=5a3c69f10348a36ac6e8e822324670c6136f6621;sf=tgz

And that downloads a tar.gz of bison-2.5 as:
bison-5a3c69f10348a36ac6e8e822324670c6136f6621.tar.gz

But when doing bootstrap of that tar.gz then this happens:
./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out bison sources...
./bootstrap: getting gnulib files...

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

It looks like this feature to download a bison git
snapshot via the git web site does not work as expected?

Thanks, Tys Lefering.
