14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
760b6634 16Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by
0b444cdb 17'git archive'. 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
0b444cdb 20If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a
760b6634 21return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created
0b444cdb 22using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been
760b6634 23a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag.
