"git archive" is reproducible, for simplicity I wouldn't use a prefix though. xz has some issues with reproducibility, AFAIK "-T2" makes it disable some internal heuristics that are based on the machine it is running on, and generates consistent output.
Excuse me, but -T in xz looks like to be the number of threads. Did you mistake it with something else?
No, enabling multithreading with a number of threads > 1 disables a heuristic that optimizes memory usage based on memory available on the machine it is running on, and uses fixed-size buffers.
