linux-firmware binary corruption with gitweb

I'm aware of at least a couple users of orinoco who have picked up
corrupt firmware# from the linux-firmware tree*.

I've verified that the firmware in the repository itself is correct.

It appears that downloading the file using the blob/raw links from
gitweb causes the corruption (0xc3 everywhere). At least it does with
firefox.

Is this known/expected behaviour?

Thanks,

Dave.
