Hi,

could someone say me if there is a way to pack git repo in a single file somehow? I mean - sometime I have to move _whole_ git database by some media without net access so I can't fetch it. Usually I just create tar.gz for .git directory and copy it to some media then unpack it in place where I need. But maybe there is some other more elegant way exist to do the same?

Thanks in advace, please CC me since I'm not subscribed to git list.

Imho, that's a fairly elegant way to do that.

You might want to have a look at git-bundle as well. However, that's not suited for moving the whole repository, but rather to exchange patches without being able to use any network based protocols.

HTH, Sebastian
