Add --archive option to init to sync using git archive
This significantly reduces sync time and used brandwidth as only
a tar of each project's revision is checked out, but git is not
accessible from projects anymore.
This is relevant when git is not needed in projects but sync
speed/brandwidth may be important like on CI servers when building
several versions from scratch regularly for example.
Archive is not supported over http/https.
