git-get-tar-commit-id(1)

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.
