    git: Add metadata to the result of `git archive`
    
    When building Xen from a source tarball, commit information is usually lost,
    especially if the tarball was generated from a tag.
    
    Have `git archive` automatically fill in metadata at the point of creating 
the
    archive, which is especially useful when using web snapshot links such as:
    
      http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz
    
    to obtain the tarball.
