Uneeded file in git

Thanks to c22d9fe we now have to use a git snapshot to be able to properly use this project.
Surprize, tarball is 200 time bigger (from 14K to 2.9M) :(
Looking, I don't see why the "tools" directory is tracked, this are only a copy of some upstream commands (composer, ...)
Please remove them (and .gitignore them)
The tools directory is not under version control by accident: this is not a bug.
The changes made in c22d9fe (as well as with similar commits in (hopefully) all of my repositories recently) optimize for the common case: installing a tool or library using Composer. By default, Composer uses the archives that GitHub automatically creates based on tags. The changes made in c22d9fe makes these archives smaller, meaning users of the libraries and tools in question need to download less.
In contrast to the common use case described above is the less common use case of working on the tool or library in question. I am sorry that you have to deal with larger downloads now, but I will not remove the tools directory from version control in any of my repositories.
Things going more crazy everyday....
Shame on PHP world
BTW, this will also affects user of composer with --prefer-sources
