Re: "git archive" seems to be broken wrt zip files

Hmm. I can easily replicate the problem here, but interestingly it does
not happen with sub-trees like:

  git archive --format=zip HEAD:drivers -o ../kernel.zip

Going back in history, I can replicate it with René's 62cdce1
(git-archive --format=zip: add symlink support, 2006-10-07). So there's
nothing to bisect.

Weirder still. I get roughly the same output as you:

  finishing deferred symbolic links:
    arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts -> ../../platform/generic/system.dts
    drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_reg.h -> /*^J * Aic94xx SAS/SATA driver...

But looking at the generated file with zipinfo, I see:

  $ zipinfo kernel.zip
  ...
  lrwxrwxrwx  2.3 unx       33 b- stor 11-Aug-25 14:02 arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts
  ...
  -rw----     0.0 fat    10470 b- defN 11-Aug-25 14:02 drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_reg.h

IOW, the zip file looks right. I wonder if this is actually a bug in
"unzip".
