Sorry I was speaking about the git protocol. It has been included in master branch. But

	git tar-tree --remote=git://anything/repo.git

does not work anymore, does it ? Do you plan to make it work again with git-upload-archive (that would need some modifications in git-tar-tree --remote code) or just let the --remote option work for local and ssh transport (that would be one good reason for using for git-archive instead of git-tar-tree) ?
