Re: [PATCH v2] archive: initialize archivers earlier

Initialize archivers as soon as possible when running git-archive and
git-upload-archive. Various non-obvious behavior depends on having the
archivers initialized, such as determining the desired archival format
from the provided filename.

Since 08716b3c11 ("archive: refactor file extension format-guessing",
2011-06-21), archive_format_from_filename() has used the registered
archivers to match filenames (provided via --output) to archival
formats. However, when git-archive is executed with --remote, format
detection happens before the archivers have been registered. This causes
archives from remotes to always be generated as TAR files, regardless of
the actual filename (unless an explicit --format is provided).

This patch fixes that behavior; archival format is determined properly
from the output filename, even when --remote is used.

Thanks, this looks good overall.

A few minor comments (that I'm not even sure are worth re-rolling for):

This seems to separate the comment from what it describes. Any reason
not to just init_archivers() closer to the top of the function here
(probably after the enter_repo() call)?

This nicely tests the more-interesting tgz case. But unfortunately it
won't run on machines without the GZIP prerequisite. I'd think that
would really be _most_ machines, but is it worth having a separate zip
test to cover machines without gzip? I guess that just creates the
opposite problem: not everybody has ZIP.
