It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its +runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> 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 <tarfile> had not been created +using git-tar-tree or if the first parameter of git-tar-tree had been +a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag. + + +Author +------ +Written by Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite |
