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.
