Many node modules don't tag their releases so its really hard to get
exact source code corresponding to an npmjs.com release. We have to
search for hints in commit messages to find the correct commit and then
take the snapshot of that commit.

Also with mono repos becoming more popular (many modules are developed
in the same git repo with each module having a different version but
there is no way to get tarballs of individual modules), now we not only
need to download tarballs corresponding to tags and then exclude all the
other modules we don't need from the monorepo tarball.
