Currently git-build-recipe falls back to a native package (assuming --allow-fallback-to-native) when:
  * pristine-tar can't find the orig tarball, and
  * an upstream/* tag doesn't exist for the upstream version.
Shouldn't it instead use `git archive HEAD` to generate the orig tarball from the base branch?
