NAME¶
git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using
git-archive
SYNOPSIS¶
git get-tar-commit-id
DESCRIPTION¶
Read a tar archive created by
git archive from the standard input and
extract the commit ID stored in it. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of
input, thus its runtime is not influenced by the size of the tar archive 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 the archive 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.
