Maybe also pass --mirror to git clone.

@pirate I noticed the --mirror option is no longer on master. Since there are perhaps two use cases (non-Git users just access the source code via HTTP; Git users might use the archive as a read-only Git remote), could there be a second archive extractor with that saves the Git history using the --mirror flag?

That is indeed correct, I changed it because I was having difficulty using the --mirror output in a different extractor I was planning, but I can add an option back to re-enable it.

Would you be ok with a config flag to choose whether you want --mirror or not @0x326? (I'd like to avoid an extra extractor if possible)

@pirate I think a config flag would be a good idea
