29cf5e12 | 6 | git-archive - Create an archive of files from a named tree |

15 | |
16 | DESCRIPTION | |
17 | ----------- | |
18 | Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree | |
42b5f869 JA |
19 | structure for the named tree, and writes it out to the standard |
20 | output. If <prefix> is specified it is | |
4df096a5 FBH |
21 | prepended to the filenames in the archive. |
22 | ||
23 | 'git-archive' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when | |
24 | given a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is | |
25 | used as modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter | |
26 | case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is | |
27 | used instead. Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global | |
28 | extended pax header if the tar format is used; it can be extracted | |
29 | using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file | |
30 | comment. | |

81 | CONFIGURATION |
82 | ------------- | |
4df096a5 | 83 | |
687157c7 RS |
84 | tar.umask:: |
85 | This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of | |
86 | tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the | |
87 | world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the | |
88 | archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for | |
89 | details. | |
