heh ? I've just noticed that you removed 'git-upload-tar' from master branch (commit d9edcbd6061a392c1315ab6f3aedb9992a3c01b1).

Futhermore I was thinking about 'git-zip-tree' removal because it's a very recent command. It shouldn't hurt to remove it now and make our life easier, not sure though...

since you removed 'git-upload-tar', it would be good to remove '--remote' option from 'git-tar-tree' command as well.
