Actually, it is relevant for zip, too. The option should really be
called "--no-commit-id" or something similar. I don't think it's as big
a deal with zip (because there is no compatibility issue), but you may
want to omit the header for other reasons (e.g., because you know it
doesn't point to a commit that is public).
