Use `git-archive` with `--format=tar` +option instead (and move the <base> argument to `--prefix=base/`). + +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. + +CONFIGURATION +------------- +By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777. It is +possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable in the +repository configuration as follows : + +[tar] + umask = 002 ;# group friendly + +The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask +will be used instead. The default value is 002, which means group +readable/writable files and directories. + +EXAMPLES +-------- +git tar-tree HEAD junk | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -):: + + Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the + latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in + `/var/tmp/junk` directory. + +git tar-tree v1.4.0 git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: + + Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release. + +git tar-tree v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: + + Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a + global extended pax header. + +git tar-tree --remote=example.com:git.git v1.4.0 >git-1.4.0.tar:: + + Get a tarball v1.4.0 from example.com. + +git tar-tree HEAD:Documentation/ git-docs > git-1.4.0-docs.tar:: + + Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory + into 'git-1.4.0-docs.tar', with the prefix 'git-docs/'. + +Author +------ +Written by Rene Scharfe. + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite |
