Why not `git archive`?

Because I didn't know about it.

Although if I look at its documentation, it's already a somewhat complicate invocation with unclear effects (lots of commandline options). Git seems to not be able to do KISS.

git ls-files and tar is a simple thing everybody understands and can do without much issues.
