I now used
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-FooBar/archive/someTag.zip
Github will put the files in a folder named
mediawiki-extensions-FooBar-someTag, which is not ideal, but better
than risking a mess in the .../extensions folder.
If there is a better solution I'd still be interested.

It is possible to download extensions in ZIP
format from the WMF repo
using a link like this:

However, this will produce a package with the extension's files in its
root folder. An unsuspecting user will probably simply extract this
package into the .../extensions folder with all its files ending up
there instead of in the extensions subfolder.
The ExtensionDistributor will provide correctly built packages, but it
is apparently only working on MW release tags, e.g. REL1_26.
Is there any way to download correctly built packages with tags other
than the MW relases?
