 any version of a project; for example:
 
 -------------------------------------------------
-$ git archive --format=tar --prefix=project/ HEAD | gzip >latest.tar.gz

+details.

+Versions of Git older than 1.7.7 don't know about the 'tar.gz' format,
+you'll need to use gzip explicitly:

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