I wanted a git clone without the metadata / an uncompressed archive.

git archive --format=tar HEAD | (cd dest; tar -xpf -)

You can probably figure out how to flip the directory dependency to the git side with --remote.

If I understand @sfaleron, I want something similar, except I want to zip my git clone. I think this would involve a zip of .git hidden directory, something that apparently is not possible.
