Ah, the manpage examples specifically give the --format=tar though.

So what?

That looks like a manpage bug. In the version I have 1.6.4 the format
for archive is given like this:

 git archive --format=<fmt> [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
                         [--output=<file>] [--worktree-attributes]
                         [--remote=<repo> [--exec=<git-upload-archive>]] <tree-i
sh>
                         [path...]

So --format isn't marked as optional.

Ahh, that would indeed be a documentation bug.

82d97da (Documentation: git-archive: mark --format as optional in summary,
2009-08-27) fixed it already, so upcoming 1.6.5 should have that fix.

Thanks.
