git-deborig(1) says
git-deborig will override gitattributes(5) that would cause the
contents of the tarball generated by git-archive(1) not to be
identical with the commitish archived: the export-subst and
export-ignore attributes.
So the problem is that there are git attributes which cause this that it
doesn't defuse, atm. It wouldn't be a breaking change to its declared
API to make git-deborig disable these other attributes, too.
I don't know what the semantic changes would be for making git-deborig
"not honour .gitattributes" completely; that might well be a breaking
change.
