7zip tends to compress a lot better than tar.gz or zip, but git archive only supports these two fairly ancient formats.
Is there any simple way of making output of git archive compress as 7zip?
Use
git archive master | xz -z > archived.xz. Note thatxzand7zuse the same compression algorithm. You can then unpack it withxz -d.
