There is, ViewCVS: http://viewcvs.sf.net/ . It has an option (I think it's
turned off by default) which allows on-the-fly .tar files for any directory.
However, if server load is a problem, a cron job with nightly downloads
would
be better.

cvs-web might do that, but viewcvs does not seem to. I have it on a computer
here, but there is no setting I found, and no mention of tar in the cgi
script.
