Hmm, doesn't seem like git-tar-tree (or git-archive for that matter)
supports this out of the box. Maybe it's possible to achieve in combination
with the $Id$ construct?
I guess it depends on whether git-tar-tree/git-archive actually does a
checkout from the repo from which the archive is made. If so, it should
be possible to store "$Id$" in .commitid, and check it in, and it should
automagically appear with the correct commit-id in your archive.
Of course, it all depends on whether the $Id$ conversion is triggered by
git-archive...
Have fun!
