That is fine, too (cutting off Documentation/howto).

My comment above was about the piece of code that handles cd'ing around=
 in
the repository.  git-tar-tree ignores the current working directory -- =
you
always get the full tree put into your tar file, and you have to do the
"trick" you mentioned if you want to archive only a subtree.  This is a=
 bit
strange, so I think we should do it right from the start in git-archive=
