The latter is a bug.

The --prefix option is intended to add a string to the beginning (i.e. "to
prefix") of the name of the archive entries.  I'm not sure if there's a use
case for anything else than adding a fake directory for all entries to live
in (thus requiring a trailing slash), but I also don't see why we should
disallow it.

The following patch fixes handling of prefixes without trailing slashes by
taking it out of the hands of get_pathspec() and read_tree_recursive() --
which can only handle prefixes that are path components -- and adding the
prefix later, in write_archive_entry().
