I can easily replicate the problem here, but interestingly it does not happen with sub-trees like: git archive --format=zip HEAD:drivers -o ../kernel.zip Going back in history, I can replicate it with René's 62cdce1 (git-archive --format=zip: add symlink support, 2006-10-07). So there's nothing to bisect.
