git archive

To quickly get a source distribution in zip format

git archive --format=zip -o source.zip HEAD source/ README

Assuming source code is under the folder source, README is a file in the same folder as source. Subfolders ignored by .gitignore are not archived. You can replace HEAD with a commit label. zip can be replaced with tar or tar.gz. Try man git-archive for more details.
