Yes.
When doing submodules, I pondered doing two code paths: one for
non-submodules, that would use git-archive, and one where we would do it
all manually as we do today.
But then I concluded that it was better to have a single code path.
Note that, before submodules, we were happily using git-archive locally,
not even forcing the collating rules.
