Subject: Improve separate test suite sourcing instructions


Instructions given for creating a source archive for test suites can be
improved slightly. Existing method creates the archive from checked
out Git branch. This leaves open the possibility that there are local
changes in the working tree, which end up packaged. The proposed
method avoids the possibility by never checking out anything and relying
on 'git archive' that operates directly on committed items in the
repository.
