The --format option was made optional in 8ff21b1 (git-archive: make
tar the default format, 2007-04-09), but it was not marked as optional
in the summary. This trival patch just changes the summary to match
the rest of the documentation.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-archive - Create an archive of files from a named tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git archive' [--format=<fmt>] [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
|
|
[--remote=<repo> [--exec=<git-upload-archive>]] <tree-ish>
|
|
[path...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree
|
|
structure for the named tree, and writes it out to the standard
|
|
output. If <prefix> is specified it is
|
|
prepended to the filenames in the archive.
|
|
|
|
'git-archive' 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 if the tar format is used; it can be extracted
|
|
using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
|
|
comment.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--format=<fmt>::
|
|
Format of the resulting archive: 'tar' or 'zip'. The default
|
|
is 'tar'.
|
|
|
|
-l::
|
|
--list::
|
|
Show all available formats.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Report progress to stderr.
|
|
|
|
--prefix=<prefix>/::
|
|
Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive.
|
|
|
|
<extra>::
|
|
This can be any options that the archiver backend understand.
|
|
See next section.
|
|
|
|
--remote=<repo>::
|
|
Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
|
|
retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
|
|
|
|
--exec=<git-upload-archive>::
|
|
Used with --remote to specify the path to the
|
|
'git-upload-archive' on the remote side.
|
|
|
|
<tree-ish>::
|
|
The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
|
|
|
|
path::
|
|
If one or more paths are specified, include only these in the
|
|
archive, otherwise include all files and subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
BACKEND EXTRA OPTIONS
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
zip
|
|
~~~
|
|
-0::
|
|
Store the files instead of deflating them.
|
|
-9::
|
|
Highest and slowest compression level. You can specify any
|
|
number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
tar.umask::
|
|
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
|
|
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
|
|
world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
|
|
archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|

git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)::
|
|
|
|

|
|
