   9 SYNOPSIS
  10 --------
  11 'git-zip-tree' [-0|...|-9] <tree-ish> [ <base> ]
  12
  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15 Creates a ZIP archive containing the tree structure for the named tree.
  16 When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the
  17 generated ZIP archive.
  18
  19 git-zip-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given
  20 a commit ID or tag ID.  In the first case the current time is used as
  21 modification time of each file in the archive.  In the latter case the
  22 commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead.
  23 Additionally the commit ID is stored as an archive comment.
  24
  25 Currently git-zip-tree can handle only files and directories, symbolic
  26 links are not supported.
