Hi,
I noticed the following (possible bug?) when I tried to create zstd tar
archive (.tar.zst) with `git archive`.
First, I created the plain tar archive with `git archive`, then extract
and rearchive to zstd tar achive:
```
(on the repo)
$ git archive -o /tmp/something.tar --prefix=something/ HEAD
(outside the repo, on /tmp)
$ tar xvf something.tar
$ tar --zstd -c -v -f something.tar.zst something/
```
I checked that the archive was indeed zstd tar archive:
```
$ file something.tar.zst
something.tar.zst: Zstandard compressed data (v0.8+), Dictionary ID: None
```
Now I created the same archive with `git archive` directly:
```
(on the repo)
$ git archive -o /tmp/something1.tar.zst --prefix=something/ HEAD
```
But that archive info (with `file`) was something different:
```
(outside the repo, on /tmp)
$ file something1.tar.zst
something1.tar.zst: POSIX tar archive
```
I expected that `something1.tar.zst` was proper zstd tar archive, and
not plain archive like above.

$ git archive -h |grep -e ' -l'
-l, --list list supported archive formats
$ git archive -l
tar
tgz
tar.gz
zip
Does it list zstd among the supported formats on your machine?

Oh, I forgot to add `tar.tar.zst` config option.
Now `git archive -l` lists:
tar
tgz
tar.gz
tar.zst
tar.bz2
tar.xz
zip
and the corresponding .gitconfig are:
tar.tar.zst.command=zstd -c
tar.tar.bz2.command=bzip2 -c
tar.tar.xz.command=xz -c
Thanks.
