Thanks but this isn't sufficient. If we have one directory of our web 
root in a git repository, say docroot/php, and we tar up docroot, it 
will include php/.git.  We don't want that.  We would have to go out of 
our way to avoid the .git directory.  The point is, we don't want 
anything in docroot that shouldn't be made live.
