Re: [PATCH 6/8] archive: use index instead of parsing tree directly

Currently:

Making attr.c support in-tree attributes is quite a non-trivial task,
IMHO. Instead this patch makes "git archive" read tree to index first,
then start exporting from there.

One minor regression: "git archive" now will no longer generate
directory entries, only files.

I don't like the need to prepare an index of all paths up front, but
that's just a gut feeling.  I haven't looked into implementing in-tree
attribute support in attr.c; is it really that hard?  Other commands
would benefit from this, too, right (e.g. any command using attributes
in a bare repo)?
