Supporting submodules is critical to packaging releases (combined with signed tags). With git-archive not support submodules, it means that I have to manually package and sign each release, rather than using git-tag. This seems like it should be a fairly trivial thing to support, possibly with the addition of a --with-submodules parameter for git-archive to avoid backwards compatibility issues.
