You can control the contents of sorcecode archive within automatic generation using the .gitattributes file (and make it part of your repository).

Add lines like:

src export-ignore

to exclude the directory "src" from being part of the generated source package. Internally github uses "git archive" to create packages based on the tags - and "git archive" can be controlled via ".gitattributes".

Don't know whether you can avoid generating the source package completely - but this is at least a workaround to control the contents of the source code package
