Make use of git archive

[dagwieers]

This simplifies the creation of the ZIP file as it use .gitattributes for excluding common files.

It builds a ZIP file based on the working directory by using the current working directory as a stash reference.

It doesn't seem to work here. I'm also wondering, doesn't that leave a lot of stashes around?

$ make build
>>> Building package
git archive --format zip --worktree-attributes -v -o ../service.iptv.manager-0.2.2-makefile-zip-d6545d8.zip --prefix service.iptv.manager/ 
usage: git archive [<options>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
   or: git archive --list
   or: git archive --remote <repo> [--exec <cmd>] [<options>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
   or: git archive --remote <repo> [--exec <cmd>] --list

    --format <fmt>        archive format
    --prefix <prefix>     prepend prefix to each pathname in the archive
    -o, --output <file>   write the archive to this file
    --worktree-attributes
                          read .gitattributes in working directory
    -v, --verbose         report archived files on stderr
    -0                    store only
    -1                    compress faster
    -9                    compress better

    -l, --list            list supported archive formats

    --remote <repo>       retrieve the archive from remote repository <repo>
    --exec <command>      path to the remote git-upload-archive command

Should work, but there is a problem if you have no local changes. That is fixed now.

No it doesn't.
