NAME
git-tar-tree - Create a tar archive of the files in the
named tree object
SYNOPSIS
git tar-tree [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [ <base> ]
DESCRIPTION
THIS COMMAND IS DEPRECATED. Use git archive with
--format=tar option instead (and move the <base> argument to
--prefix=base/).
Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the
named tree. When <base> is specified it is added as a
leading path to the files in the generated tar archive.
git tar-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus
when given a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the
current time is used as modification time of each file in
the archive. In the latter case the commit time as recorded
in the referenced commit object is used instead.
Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended
pax header. It can be extracted using git get-tar-commit-id.
OPTIONS
<tree-ish>
The tree or commit to produce tar archive for. If it is
the object name of a commit object.
<base>
Leading path to the files in the resulting tar archive.
--remote=<repo>
Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
CONFIGURATION
tar.umask
This variable can be used to restrict the permission
bits of tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which
turns off the world write bit. The special value "user"
indicates that the archiving user's umask will be used
instead. See umask(2) for details.
EXAMPLES
git tar-tree HEAD junk | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)
Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the
latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in
/var/tmp/junk directory.
