_{Disclaimer: I fell into the same problem as the question-asker, could not find any proper solution, so I created this tool for my own use, and later made it available for everyone.}

Any other solution would indeed mean building an artifact and upload it.

Update August 2016 (2 years later): you can have a look at this answer and the DownGit project, by Minhas Kamal.
