Here's a script I use at work that calls git-archive recursively for submodules and builds a single tarball for everything. If there is interest in having something like this in git proper I could put some work into cleaning it up for general use. Perhaps something like this should be integrated into git-archive directly. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
