FWIW, I think the subthread was mostly about "now we have a new
feature in 'git archive', do we want to use it elsewhere?" tangent
and the outcome of the discussion there won't affect this topic---as
long as this topic needs the new feature it adds to 'git archive',
and the new feature is adequately done, I do not think there is any
need for it to be redone.

Other parts of the series may or may not need reworking, but I do
not recall the details of the topic.

OK.
