want to throw out the repo periodically and then put new tor browser files
into a fresh repo.
I would argue that we don't want to do it the old way. In addition to size
constraints, we also have bandwidth constraints:
https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-large-files/about-storage-and-
bandwidth-usage
If I'm understanding these correctly, only a hand full of users will
actually be able to download one of our gettorbrowser binaries before we
reach our limit and nobody can download anything from the repo anymore.
Luckily, releases don't count against either storage or bandwidth limits
(at least for github). So I think #32480 is the way to go.
