HEAD:$subdir worked on my bare repo.  I ran it for each transformant
pathspec and then combined the archives with tar --catenate:

# git archive --format=tar --prefix=myWeb/myRoot/myAPP/Templates/
HEAD:WebPortal/Templates/>myAPP.myTag.tar
# git archive --format=tar --prefix=opt/mySTUFF/v01/SCRIPTS/
HEAD:SCRIPTS/>SCRIPTS.tar
# tar --file=myAPP.myTag.tar -A SCRIPTS.tar

However, the permissions also need to change to 777 and tar --mode would
not effect this in combination with --catenation or -x.  Is there a way
I can change the permissions without having to untar->chmod->retar, and
without having to use a non-bare repo as an intermediary?

You can use the configuration setting tar.umask to affect the
permissions of the archive entries.  Set it to 0 to pass the permission
bits from the repo unchanged.

The permissions in my repo are 775 and 664 and I want to change them to 777.
