Is there a way to ask git-archive to archive the submodules of the
project as well?

I have a project that needs it's submoduels distributed with it.

Is anyone else using submodules in this way?

my project is: 	git://repo.or.cz/fts.git

It has a submodule: 	tslib at git://repo.or.cz/tslib.git

I create the archive by:
git archive --format=tar --prefix=fts/ HEAD | gzip > ~/fts.tar.gz

and when I go into the tslib submodule directory after expanding the
archive, it is empty.
