Sorry, for replying to my own mail, but attached is a revised patch that also 
allows --list to work without a git dir, as pointed out by Jeff Garzik.

Would be nice if the patch could be applied to git :)

Subject: [PATCH] Make it possible to run git-archive --remote and --list without a git directory.

Try a gentle git directory setup for the archive command that remains fatal for
the local case but permits operation without a local git repository when using
--remote. If in the remote case a git directory is present it will then still be
used for proxy settings, but that is optional now.
