[Buildroot] Generating Buildroot compatible kernel tarball from Git

I am trying to modify the default configuration for BeagleBone to use a
custom tarball instead of a Git tree. I generated a tarball using:

git archive bb | bzip2 > linux-3.8.13.tar.bz2

and modified the defconfig to use the custom tarball but the build fails at
'linux custom Configuring' stage with:
cp "board/beaglebone/linux-3.8.config"
/home/anmol/Code/buildroot-2013.11/output/build/linux-custom/arch/arm/configs/buildroot_defconfig
cp: cannot create regular file
‘/home/anmol/Code/buildroot-2013.11/output/build/linux-custom/arch/arm/configs/buildroot_defconfig’:
No such file or directory

I can manually build the kernel by extracting the tarball. I
tried exporting a tarball from the vanilla kennel tree and Buildroot failed
with the same result. What am I doing wrong here?

P.S. Uploaded custom tarball here:
