Hello,
git archive --remote="URL" branchname > branchname.tar.gz is not
reading .gitattributes file from the given branch but from HEAD. More
specifically export-ignore lines in the target branch are ignored.
The remote is using git protocol and it's served by Gitlab. I use git
version 2.11.0.
Is this a git issue? In that case is this a bug or a known limitation?
Best regards,
Aalex Gabi

Could you provide a little more context with the problem you are having?
When you say HEAD are you referring to the server's HEAD?
When testing this locally (with a relative URL) I can't seem to
reproduce what you are describing. If you could provide a way to
reproduce this I would be able to more easily diagnose the problem.
