I am not sure what you mean.  Are you tracking a symbolic link X that
points at Y in your revision and expecting git-archive to include whatever
happens to be at Y (which may or may not even exist) when you run the
command?

If that is the case, the answer is "no" and "will never happen".  If you
are tracking a symbolic link X that points at Y, the information git
tracks is the fact that there is a symbolic link X that points at Y, and
not what Y happens to look like at a random moment.  Change to Y is not
tracked by git so why should you get different output from git-archive of
the same revision before and after you modify Y which is not part of the
revision to begin with?

If that is not what you are asking, please restate the question.
