Well, if you have a ssh access to remote repository, you can run
git-archive there:

    $ ssh -n 'cd /dir/repo/.git && git --bare archive --prefix=<local-path> <tree>' |tar xf -

or even simplier:

    $ git archive --remote=<remote-host:remote-path> --prefix=<local-path>/ <tree> |tar xf -

(for whatever reason it does not work with just git-daemon).
