Pursuant to this: Do a “git export” (like “svn export”)?, what's wrong with this picture?:

user@machine /cygdrive/c/Ws/PROJECT_master_coverage : git archive master | bzip2 > /cygdrive/c/Ws/PROJECT_master_coverage.tar.bz2
fatal: Not a valid object name

user@machine /cygdrive/c/Ws/PROJECT_master_coverage : git archive --format zip --output /cygdrive/c/Ws/PROJECT_master_coverage.zip master
fatal: Not a valid object name

user@machine /cygdrive/c/Ws/PROJECT_master_coverage : git archive master | tar -x -C /cygdrive/c/Ws/PROJECT_master_coverage.tgz
fatal: Not a valid object name
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

If this is not a bare repo, try: `GIT_DIR=.git git archive master`, just for testing. – VonC Feb 16 '18 at 06:01
Does the repo have `master` branch at all? – phd Feb 16 '18 at 13:12
The soution I applied was to clone a new one and then do rm -rf ${project_root}/.git/ ;-) Then tar cvzf project.tgz ${project_root} – user447607 Feb 16 '18 at 15:15
