git-archive submodule support

git-archive submodule support

[Rotem Yaari]

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any plans to support inclusion of
submodules in git-archive. This is very useful for quickly preparing
ready-to-deploy archives of "unstable" branches etc., without the
users' need to clone submodule dependencies each time.

Is this planned at some point? Such a change would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

It is planned but I don't expect to find the time for that in the
near future, especially as this is not my itch. But I'd be willing
to assist you in resurrecting a four year old patch for that from
Lars Hjemli. It is archived in my GitHub repo:
