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 archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been +a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
