|  | .SH "DESCRIPTION" | 
|  | .sp | 
|  | Read a tar archive created by \fIgit archive\fR 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\&. | 
|  | .sp | 
|  | If no commit ID is found, \fIgit get\-tar\-commit\-id\fR quietly exits with a return code of 1\&. This can happen if the archive had not been created using \fIgit archive\fR or if the first parameter of \fIgit archive\fR had been a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag\&. |
