Can't look at the completion issue right now, but I see Nikolai has

This would be "git archive".

The exact call depends on what you want to achieve. If you want an
export to deploy something you can do it like this:

 git archive master --format=tar --prefix=zsh-export/ | tar xvf -

Other possibilities depend on what you need.
