  git-archive with recursive submodule support

- you have submodules (to which `git archive` is completely blind).

Note that `git-archive-all`[1] can help as long as your submodules don't do things like `[attr]custom-attr` in their `.gitattributes` as it is only allowed in the top-level `.gitattributes` file and cannot be added to the tree otherwise.

  Discontinued Just a place to track issues and feature requests that I have for github

I don't know what the fuss is all about. It was publicly known that Github was breaking automatic git archives consistency for many years. Here is a bug on a project to stop relying on fake github archives (as opposed to stable git-archive(1)):

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3099

At some point it was impossible to go a few weeks (or even days) without a github archive change (depending on which part of the "CDN" you hit), I guess they must have stabilized it at some point. Here is an old issue before GitHub had a community issue tracker:
