Make release tarballs friendlier to older tar versions

git-tar-tree adds an extended pax header to archives if its first
parameter points to a commit.  It confuses older tars and isn't
very useful in the case of git anyway, so stop doing it.

Idea: Junio, implementation: Junio.  I just wrote it up. :-)
