git-get-tar-commit-id(1) ======================== NAME ---- git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using git-archive SYNOPSIS -------- 'git get-tar-commit-id' < DESCRIPTION ----------- Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by 'git archive'. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its runtime is not influenced by the size of very much. If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a return code of 1. This can happen if 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. GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
