Some people needed --exec to specify the location of the upload-pack
executable, because their default SSH log-in does not include the
directory they have their own private copy of git on the $PATH.
These people need to be able to say --exec to git-archive --remote
for the same reason.

Otherwise the remote notification that comes with -v option can get
clumped together.

(cherry picked from a675cda60ead41f439b04bc69e0f19ace04e59d3 commit)
This fixes git-archive --remote not to parse archiver arguments;
otherwise if the remote end implements formats other than the
one known locally we will not be able to access that format.

Again, this is based on Rene Scharfe's earlier patch, but uses
the archiver support introduced by the previous patch.

git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.
Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.
- The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
different archive backends to have different kind of options.
- The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
the archive given some already resolved parameters.
The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?
It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.
The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:
$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD
We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).
