| 11 | [verse] |
| 12 | 'git get-tar-commit-id' |
| 13 | |
| 14 | |
| 15 | DESCRIPTION |
| 16 | ----------- |
| 17 | |
| 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. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exits 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. |
