(Please note that I am not subscribed to the mailing list, so if you want me to read your reply, it must be sent to woody.gilk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) I would find it hugely valuable if git-archive would support submodules, rather than leaving empty files in the place of submodules. 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.
