one or more\nreferences (branches or tags), use `git bundle` to create a\nspecially-formatted file which can be imported using Git on another\nmachine.\n\nIf you need to just export the snapshot of the files maintained in the\nrepository at the specified commit, use `git export`.\n"},{"id":"197911","messageId":"m2r4qsbcdi.fsf@igel.home","threadId":"31364","inReplyTo":"CANkmNDd6zPkrL-TueLnGCCyqP6eetxWh5KkL4vLGgUUddZFNhw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: exporting a .git

(commits, log messages, etc) but not the local configuration\nlike .git/config, .git/info/*, nor some other information like the\nreflogs (history of old values of references). This is probably what\nyou want.\n\nA \"tar\" of the .git directory, by contrast, would include this local\ninformation unless you exclude it explicitly.\n\nMichael\n\n-- \nMichael Haggerty\nmhagger@alum.mit.edu\nhttp://softwareswirl.blogspot.com/\n"}]}
