| git-get-tar-commit-id(1) |
| ======================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using git-archive |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git get-tar-commit-id' |
| |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| Read a tar archive created by 'git archive' from the standard input |
| and extract the commit ID stored in it. It reads only the first |
| 1024 bytes of input, thus its runtime is not influenced by the size |
| of the tar archive very much. |
| |
| If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exits with a |
| return code of 1. This can happen if the archive had not been created |
| using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been |
| a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag. |
