[PATCH] git-archive: ignore prefix when checking file attribute

Ulrik Sverdrup noticed that git-archive doesn't correctly apply the attribute export-subst when the option --prefix is given, too.

When it checked if a file has the attribute turned on, git-archive would try to look up the full path -- including the prefix -- in .gitattributes. That's wrong, as the prefix doesn't need to have any relation to any existing directories, tracked or not.

This patch makes git-archive ignore the prefix when looking up if value of the attribute export-subst for a file.

Ulrik, does this patch fix the problem for you?  It applies to v1.5.4.4 and
v1.5.5 equally.
