I think it is unnecessary to add the tarball of the entire repository to the working tree itself. This should ideally be uploaded when a release is made and not with each commit.
From a user's (person who is downloading the source of the icons) perspective, they are essentially downloading 2 copies of the same files. One in the source files and one within the tarball. This also contributes to double the size of the repository from one single file (the tarball) in the working directory. It would be better if the working tree had only one copy of each file.
This change removes the unnecessary tarball from the working tree.
