Hi,

Consider the following use case:
  Regularly building projects which are untar'ed on-the-fly with git-archive
without intermediate tar balls.

How can I track back which commit IDs were those source code git-archive from?

I'd like to to add an option for git-archive to output the commit ID in alternative ways in addition to only store it inside the tar ball. Any comment?

Regards, Roy

Run "man gitattributes" and look for export-subst?
