1 git-get-tar-commit-id(1)
2 ========================
6 git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using git-archive
12 'git get-tar-commit-id'
18 Read a tar archive created by 'git archive' from the standard input
19 and extract the commit ID stored in it. It reads only the first
20 1024 bytes of input, thus its runtime is not influenced by the size
21 of the tar archive very much.
23 If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a
24 return code of 1. This can happen if the archive had not been created
25 using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been
26 a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag.
