14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
760b6634 16Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by
5162e697 17linkgit:git-archive[1]. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its
760b6634
RS
18runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much.
19
20If no commit ID is found, git-get-tar-commit-id quietly exists with a
21return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created
c251005c 22using git-archive or if the first parameter of git-archive had been
760b6634 23a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag.
