@Mart-Bogdan, try this:
git diff --name-only -z --diff-filter=ACMRT release..HEAD | xargs -0 git archive -o update.tar.gz HEAD --
archives changes between commit tagged release and HEAD. Works with files containing spaces.
git diff --name-only SHA1..SHA2 | xargs tar -zcf update.tar.gz
or
tar -zcf update.tar.gz
git diff --name-only SHA1..SHA2
For some weird reason, when I try tar -zcf (attempting to generate a gzipped version) it just doesn't save all the affected files. However, if I use tar -rf it does work as intended.
Any idea why that is ocurring?

It's failing if any file contain spaces in it's name.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this?
