1 git-get-tar-commit-id(1)
2 ========================
6 git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using git-archive
11 'git get-tar-commit-id' < <tarfile>
16 Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by
17 'git archive'. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its
18 runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much.
20 If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a
21 return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created
22 using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been
23 a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag.
