Need to handle git-submodules in git-archive

Question

I need to pack git submodules inside of tarball which I create with git-archive.

I see that in 1.6.5 git-archive does not support git submodules.

I see several scripts to handle this case in the net, but I'm not sure which one to pick.

What is the best / most official way to do this?

I've ended up using with working copy on a dedicated clone repository... but it is rather sad there is no (semi-)official support for this feature. If you use something specific to solve this problem, please speak up. :-)

Answer 1

The best way is probably with one of those "several scripts to handle this case in the net". Why isn't that acceptable?

Answer 2

Actually, I've found that git submodules are too broken for me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1596822/git-submodules-workflow/1597087

Answer 3

You can try my script http://github.com/Kentzo/git-archive-all
