You can't, because "myproject" cannot be guessed most of the time.
If you really want to automatize it, it's a 2 liner shell script, or
alternatively you can add that to your .gitconfig:
[alias]
archive-gz=!git archive --prefix="$(basename "$(dirname "$(readlink -m "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)")")")"/ HEAD | gzip -c
It will use the name of the directory containing your .git/ directory as a
prefix, and compress it using gzip to stdout.
git archive-gz > myproject.tar.gz will do what you want.
See, that's the point about git having so many flags. You only need to
look the man page _once_ (despite what you pretend): the one time you
need to write your convenient wrapper around git commands that suits
your exact needs.
