any version of a project; for example:

-------------------------------------------------
$ git archive --format=tar --prefix=project/ HEAD | gzip >latest.tar.gz
$ git archive -o latest.tar.gz --prefix=project/ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------

will use HEAD to produce a tar archive in which each filename is
preceded by "project/".
will use HEAD to produce a gzipped tar archive in which each filename
is preceded by `project/`. The output file format is inferred from
the output file extension if possible, see linkgit:git-archive[1] for
details.

-------------------------------------------------
$ git archive --format=tar --prefix=project/ HEAD | gzip >latest.tar.gz
-------------------------------------------------
