We use this feature of git. The only information I've found in the mailing lists is that gerrit doesn't support it, but no explanation why. Would it be difficult to implement?

Today we have to expose information about the 'real' ssh port and local repository path to git archive users. We also have to set up access rights for these users so that they are able to log in via regular ssh and get at the data. This would be a lot less complicated for us if we could use git archive directly against gerrit.

Gerrit is using JGit for the git operations and JGit didn't have support for git-archive until recently. Jonathan Nieder is working on supporting it in JGit [1]. I'm not sure if it is all done already or whether there are still things left to do. But once this is finished in JGit it's probably not much work to enable it in Gerrit.

Can this #1706 bug be marked as a dupe of https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=2061 ? The later has slightly more informations.
