Ah, nevermind. I see now; the command-line option interface to "git
archive" is not as rich as what you can pass via write_archive.

I think you can get around it by adding an option to "git archive" to
indicate that we are filling a remote request, which is the only
extra information that my series adds.

I do think the start_async approach is a little more natural, though. If
the dup() bits get too ugly, it would not be that hard to make the
archive code write to a specific descriptor.
