Sorry, git-archive that doesn't include the .git/ sub-directory, so
that's not the command you want.  I don't know what command you would
use.  I reckon it should be a git clone, check out a particular commit,
reset the branch to that commit, filtering away all other branches, and
then do 'git gc --aggresive --prune=now'.  If that produces
unreproducable results for other unrelated changes to the repository, it
would be nice to know how to get rid of them.
