The "git-archive(1)" command must accept at least one parameter as "archive.c::parse_archive_args" shows:

    static int parse_archive_args(...)
    {
        ...
        if (argc < 1)
            usage_with_options(archive_usage, opts);
    }

So, it will print the usage and exit the program. I guess you omit some things for this bug report. Could you please give us more information to let us dive into this?

Thanks, Jialuo
