More importantly it would avoid running "archive path --format=zip".

That may be reordered by the current parse-options implementation, and
other command line parsers (e.g. "git diff HEAD path --stat") may accept
command line in such an order, but I somehow find it utterly wrong.  We
should prepare ourselves for the (distant) day on which we start enforcing
"options then rev then paths" order from the command line.
