That's a curious case. Supporting %S in git archive would be easy --
it's just a matter of recording the name given at the command line for
the pretty format code to find, like in the sloppy patch below (missing
doc update, missing test, leaks memory, adds a static variable to
library code).
The inconsistent support of %S is not ideal and I think that set a bad
precedent, but on the other hand I don't see its usefulness for git
archive in particular. So I dunno. Perhaps worth doing once rev-list
gains support, for completeness.
