I don't think that's completely fair. As with most such issues, there are probably use-cases for either behavior, and the default can only be one of them. That said, it of course would be nice if git-archive had an option to recursive into submodules; maybe it should even be on by default (but I dunno). [Even if it isn't a default, CGIT or whatever could just use that option.] -Miles -- Non-combatant, n. A dead Quaker.
