GIT-GET-TAR-COMMI(1)
NAME
git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using
git-archive
SYNOPSIS
git get-tar-commit-id < <tarfile>
DESCRIPTION
Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created
by git archive. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its
runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much.
If no commit ID is found, git get-tar-commit-id quietly exists with a
return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created
using git archive or if the first parameter of git archive had been a
tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag.
