Hi,
Trying to run git-archive fails against smart-http based repos. Example:
$ git archive --verbose --format=zip --remote=http://code.toofishes.net/git/dan/initscripts.git
fatal: Operation not supported by protocol.
Unexpected end of command stream
This problem was brought up against my internal repos as well.

Right. Neither the client nor server for the http transport knows how to
handle the "git-upload-archive" service (as opposed to the regular
"git-upload-pack" or "git-receive-pack" services). I don't think there's
anything technical standing in the way; it is has simply never been
implemented.
Currently, you can do remote git-archive only locally, via ssh, or over
git:// (but then only if the server side has explicitly enabled it).
Patches welcome.
