Yes. When doing submodules, I pondered doing two code paths: one for non-submodules, that would use git-archive, and one where we would do it all manually as we do today. But then I concluded that it was better to have a single code path. Note that, before submodules, we were happily using git-archive locally, not even forcing the collating rules. Regards, Yann E.
