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().
