git-tar-tree(1)
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-tar-tree - Creates a tar archive of the files in the named tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-tar-tree' [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [ <base> ]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the named tree.
|
|
When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the
|
|
generated tar archive.
|
|
|
|
git-tar-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given
|
|
a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is used as
|
|
modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter case the
|
|
commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead.
|
|
Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header.
|
|
It can be extracted using git-get-tar-commit-id.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
<tree-ish>::
|
|
The tree or commit to produce tar archive for. If it is
|
|
the object name of a commit object.
|
|
|
|
<base>::
|
|
Leading path to the files in the resulting tar archive.
|
|
|
|
--remote=<repo>::
|
|
Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
|
|
retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
|
|
|
|
