I am not aware of a consensus on preferring Git, but using Git had been 
noted to be a convenient method for avoiding Autotools binaries (*) and 
building from source (*).

However, that's not directly relevant here, as (IIUC your comment 
correctly) in this case, the tarball doesn't contain those Autotools 
binaries.

Greetings,
Maxime
