The new sentence didn't click and I was lost in figuring out what is
set to which value and where, before looking at a test the patch
adds.

I think it is not entirely a fault of this patch, but the badness is
already in the original.  I wouldn't have been as confused if it
were like so:

    The "tar.gz" and "tgz" formats are defined automatically to use
    `gzip -cn` as the command by default.  An internal gzip
    implementation can be used by specifying the value `git archive
    gzip` for these two formats.

for example.

Thanks.
