[time passes]

I finally had a bit of time to pick this back up again in:

https://github.com/cgwalters/git-evtag

It should address the core concern here about stability of `git archive`.

I prototyped it out with libgit2 because it was easier, and I'd like actually 
to be able to use this with older versions of git.

But I think the next steps here are:

- Validate the core design
  * Tree walking order
  * Submodule recursion
  * Use of SHA512
- Standardize it
  (Would like to see at least a stupid slow shell script implementation to 
cross-validate)
- Add it as an option to `git tag`?

Longer term:
- Support adding `Git-EVTag` as a git note, so I can retroactively add stronger
  checksums to older git repositories
- Anything else?
