I've investigated this a little bit, and it does seem to create
reproducible tarballs. In my testing, the archive's produced via git
archive --remote=... actually match checksums with those produced via
shallow clone, delete .git, tar + gzip. I'd possibly need to
investigate the git source a bit more.
