This is a "meh" at least to me.  Unless it uses something like

	git archive -o latest.tar.gz --prefix=project/ HEAD
        
it is not all that interesting.

Great suggestion.  My original goal was to remove the pipe, but if we
can remove the redirection too, that's one less POSIX-ism for newbies
to wonder about ;).

I was referring to more about the implicit format recognition not
pipe.
