git-upload-archive(1)



NAME

   git-upload-archive - Send archive back to git-archive

SYNOPSIS

   git upload-archive <directory>

DESCRIPTION

   Invoked by git archive --remote and sends a generated archive to the
   other end over the Git protocol.

   This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user. The UI
   for the protocol is on the git archive side, and the program pair is
   meant to be used to get an archive from a remote repository.

SECURITY

   In order to protect the privacy of objects that have been removed from
   history but may not yet have been pruned, git-upload-archive avoids
   serving archives for commits and trees that are not reachable from the
   repository's refs. However, because calculating object reachability is
   computationally expensive, git-upload-archive implements a stricter but
   easier-to-check set of rules:

    1. Clients may request a commit or tree that is pointed to directly by
       a ref. E.g., git archive --remote=origin v1.0.

    2. Clients may request a sub-tree within a commit or tree using the
       ref:path syntax. E.g., git archive --remote=origin
       v1.0:Documentation.

    3. Clients may not use other sha1 expressions, even if the end result
       is reachable. E.g., neither a relative commit like master^ nor a
       literal sha1 like abcd1234 is allowed, even if the result is
       reachable from the refs.

   Note that rule 3 disallows many cases that do not have any privacy
   implications. These rules are subject to change in future versions of
   git, and the server accessed by git archive --remote may or may not
   follow these exact rules.

   If the config option uploadArchive.allowUnreachable is true, these
   rules are ignored, and clients may use arbitrary sha1 expressions. This
   is useful if you do not care about the privacy of unreachable objects,
   or if your object database is already publicly available for access via
   non-smart-http.
