Re: [PATCH] get_tree_entry: map blank requested entry to tree root

Jeff King [off-list ref] writes:

 - git-archive feeds the 'prefix' variable to get_tree_entry; it works
   fine in the root with or without the patch. I seem to be getting an
   error, with or without my patch, when doing a git-archive from a
   subdirectory:
     $ git-archive --format=tar origin >/dev/null
     $ cd Documentation
     $ git-archive --format=tar origin >/dev/null
     fatal: cannot read c87c61af00c6d2cd7212240e260809000000aaab
   but I haven't been able to track it down further. It's clearly
   unrelated to my patch, though.

I've noticed this while looking at your patch and fixed it in my
tree already.
