Hi everybody.

With git 1.6.0.3, I get the  following error when trying to "git archive" on a 
bare clone of the Linux kernel repo:

~ $ cd Kernel/
~/Kernel $ ls
branches  config  description  FETCH_HEAD  HEAD  hooks  info  logs  objects  
packed-refs  refs
~/Kernel $ git archive 721d5df > /dev/null
fatal: Not a valid object name

With git 1.6.0.2, on the same tree, it works fine.

```
