git 2.38.0: Change in `git archive` output

[kpcyrd]

hello,

multiple people in Arch Linux noticed the output of our `git archive` 
command doesn't match the tarball served by github anymore.

First I suspected an update in our gzip package until I found this line 
in the git 2.38.0 release notes:

 > * Teach "git archive" to (optionally and then by default) avoid
 >   spawning an external "gzip" process when creating ".tar.gz" (and
 >   ".tgz") archives.

I've then found this commit that could be considered a breaking change 
in `git archive`:

https://github.com/git/git/commit/4f4be00d302bc52d0d9d5a3d4738bb525066c710

I don't know if there's some kind of gzip standard that could be used to 
align the git internal gzip implementation with gnu gzip.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a bug or regression but it makes it 
harder to reproduce github tar balls from a git repository. Just sharing 
what I've debugged. :)

cheers,
