Hi, one of our [KDE] anongit servers was updated to 1.7.8.1 and not the
syntax

git archive --remote=git://anongit.kde.org/repo.git HEAD:path

This syntax is no longer allowed due to some security tightening. Use
the alternate syntax

    git archive --remote=git://anongit.kde.org/repo.git HEAD -- path

Unfortunately this producess a tarball with a different layout, e.g.

git archive --remote=git://anongit.kde.org/kgraphviewer.git HEAD:doc/en_US
  gives me a tarball with the doc/en_US files in the root

git archive --remote=git://anongit.kde.org/kgraphviewer.git HEAD -- doc/en_US
  gives me a tarball with the doc/en_US folders and then the files

Is there a way to keep the old behaviour or do we need to update our scripts?

Thanks for the fast answer!

does not seem to return a valid tar archive anymore when it did work
previously. In fact the man page of my version has that syntax in one of
the examples.

That sounds like a documentation bug.
