Perhaps tar generation has been switched to using git-archive instead of
git-tar-tree?  There's an, admittedly, subtle difference in how the two
handle prefixes/basedirs.  The following two commands do the same:

   $ git-tar-tree rev basedir
   $ git-archive --prefix=basedir/ rev

If you use --prefix and you want a base directory then you have to
provide your own slash (basedir = prefix + path_separator).
