[RFC/PATCH v3 0/3] Add support for `git archive --submodules`

[Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>]

This series teaches read_tree_recursive() how to traverse gitlink entries
when explicitly instructed to do so (by the return value from the provided
callback function) and then uses this functionallity in git-archive to
implement a basic --submodules option (as suggested by René in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/106167/focus=106235).

The commit message of the third patch has some suggestions on how the new
feature may be extended to support more use cases - hopefully this will
cover the issues mentioned by Johannes and Junio in the same thread.

Lars Hjemli (3):
  tree.c: teach read_tree_recursive how to traverse gitlink entries
  sha1_file: prepare for adding alternates on demand
  archive.c: add basic support for submodules
