How is a code repository any better than a tarball/zipfile?

Or do you mean that the journals will do project hosting as well as  
being a repository? If so, it would mean higher service levels; it's  
okay for a tarball site to go down for a few hours, but who wants  
their projects to be stalled for that long?
