Try and adapt the following script (it just print file names) :
Code:
while IFS='|' read subdir dir files filler
do
   echo
   echo "-----------------------------------"
   echo "Entry: <$subdir>|<$dir>|<$files>"
   echo "-----------------------------------"
   echo
   find_names=$(echo "$files" | sed "s/[[:space:]]*//g;s/\([^,]*\)\(,\|\$\)/-name '\1'\2/g;s/,/ -o /g")
   case "$subdir" in
     N|n) dir_name=`basename $dir`
          find_subdir="'(' -type d ! -name '$dir_name' -prune ')' -o" ;;
       *) find_subdir="" ;;
   esac
   eval find "$dir" ${find_subdir} -type f "'(' '('" ${find_names} " ')' -print ')'"
done < pchang.dat

Code:
$ cat pchang.dat
Y|ARCHIVE|*
Y|ARCHIVE|*.txt, *.sh
N|ARCHIVE|*
N|ARCHIVE|*.txt
$ dir -R ARCHIVE
ARCHIVE:
dir1  dir2  grep_with_context.txt  my_test.sh  tree  tree.sed

ARCHIVE/dir1:
readme.txt  subdir_1  subdir_2

ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_1:
list_1.txt  scan_dir.opt  scan_dir.sh

ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_2:
compile.sh

ARCHIVE/dir2:
$ sh pchang.sh

-----------------------------------
Entry: <Y>|<ARCHIVE>|<*>
-----------------------------------

ARCHIVE/dir1/readme.txt
ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_1/list_1.txt
ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_1/scan_dir.opt
ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_1/scan_dir.sh
ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_2/compile.sh
ARCHIVE/grep_with_context.txt
ARCHIVE/my_test.sh
ARCHIVE/tree
ARCHIVE/tree.sed

-----------------------------------
Entry: <Y>|<ARCHIVE>|<*.txt, *.sh>
-----------------------------------

ARCHIVE/dir1/readme.txt
ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_1/list_1.txt
ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_1/scan_dir.sh
ARCHIVE/dir1/subdir_2/compile.sh
ARCHIVE/grep_with_context.txt
ARCHIVE/my_test.sh

-----------------------------------
Entry: <N>|<ARCHIVE>|<*>
-----------------------------------

ARCHIVE/grep_with_context.txt
ARCHIVE/my_test.sh
ARCHIVE/tree
ARCHIVE/tree.sed

-----------------------------------
Entry: <N>|<ARCHIVE>|<*.txt>
-----------------------------------

ARCHIVE/grep_with_context.txt
$

For your purpose modify the find command like that :
Code:
eval find "$dir" ${find_subdir} -type f "'(' '('" ${find_names} " ')' -mtime +300 -print ')'" | xargs rm

git-upload-archive

GIT-UPLOAD-ARCHIVE(1)						    Git Manual						     GIT-UPLOAD-ARCHIVE(1)

NAME

       git-upload-archive - Send archive back to git-archive

SYNOPSIS

       git upload-archive <directory>

DESCRIPTION

       Invoked by git archive --remote and sends a generated archive to the other end over the Git protocol.

       This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user. The UI for the protocol is on the git archive side, and the program pair is
       meant to be used to get an archive from a remote repository.

SECURITY

       In order to protect the privacy of objects that have been removed from history but may not yet have been pruned, git-upload-archive avoids
       serving archives for commits and trees that are not reachable from the repository's refs. However, because calculating object reachability
       is computationally expensive, git-upload-archive implements a stricter but easier-to-check set of rules:

	1. Clients may request a commit or tree that is pointed to directly by a ref. E.g., git archive --remote=origin v1.0.

	2. Clients may request a sub-tree within a commit or tree using the ref:path syntax. E.g., git archive --remote=origin v1.0:Documentation.

	3. Clients may not use other sha1 expressions, even if the end result is reachable. E.g., neither a relative commit like master^ nor a
	   literal sha1 like abcd1234 is allowed, even if the result is reachable from the refs.

       Note that rule 3 disallows many cases that do not have any privacy implications. These rules are subject to change in future versions of
       git, and the server accessed by git archive --remote may or may not follow these exact rules.

       If the config option uploadArchive.allowUnreachable is true, these rules are ignored, and clients may use arbitrary sha1 expressions. This
       is useful if you do not care about the privacy of unreachable objects, or if your object database is already publicly available for access
       via non-smart-http.
