It is not clear for me. Yes, I have to get some fixed version to reproduce the bug reported by someone. Then I need to fix it and commit the change back (on the head). Also, it is obvious to reproduce the issue and test the fix on the tip. Can do this with 'git archive'? BTW, doesn't 'git archive' sync to some version that I probably already have in other clone? ;-)
