And really, there's no need to walk the history. You really\nare just comparing against two points (your baseline and your current\nstate). Walking the history will also erroneously include files which\nchanged, but then reverted back to their original state (though I expect\nthat is the uncommon case).\n\nHow about:\n\n # mark our start point for this and future releases\n git tag baseline `git rev-list HEAD | tail -n 1`\n\n # find files which differ between then and now; but we only need\n # to care about added and modified files, since deleted ones\n # don't need to be shipped\n git diff --diff-filter=AM --raw baseline HEAD | awk '{print $6}' >files\n\n # and archive\n git archive --format=zip HEAD `cat files`\n\nYou can even use diff's \"-z\" option if you have filenames that are hard\nto quote, but I will leave that as an exercise to the reader.\n\n-Peff\n"},{"id":"68649","messageId":"47B2F3FB.3020600@viscovery.net","threadId":"12071","inReplyTo":"20080213130304.GA19957@grahamcox.co.uk","subject":"Re: git-archive for files changed in revision range","fromName":"Johannes Sixt","fromEmail":"j.sixt@viscovery.net","sentAt":"2008-02-13T13:43:23Z","receivedAt":"2008-02-13T13:43:23Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"j6t@kdbg.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14810926?v=4"},"body":"Graham Cox schrieb:\n> The command line I used was something like (This is mostly from memory):\n> git-archive --format=zip . `git-whatchanged ..HEAD --pretty=oneline \n> | grep '^:' | sed 's/^.*\\t//'` > release.zip\n> \n> To produce a zip containing all of the modified and added files for the \n> revision range ..HEAD.\n\ngit diff-tree -r --name-only -z HEAD | \\\n xargs -0 git archive --format=zip HEAD > release.zip\n\n-- Hannes\n"}]}
