I've eventually realised this by reading the source code.  The command
I actually needed was:

  cd /repo/website.git && git -c tar.umask=0022 archive HEAD

Can't comment on the proposed diff without getting better handle on
the whole system, but my knee-jerk reaction would be to resist the
urge to add more switches.  Maybe the existing -c switch could be made
to cooperate with --remote, or maybe the documentation could be edited
to make it clearer that -c and --remote are not related in the way I
had originally assumed.
