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?

Run "man gitattributes" and look for export-subst? ``` ## roylee17, 2009-03-03 16:51 Subject: Re: [RFC] Add an option for git-archive to output commit ID in alternative ways Message-ID: <1236099097541-2416431.post@n2.nabble.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1236099097541-2416431.post%40n2.nabble.com In-Reply-To: <7vtz6ad31f.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` Junio C Hamano wrote: > > roylee17 writes: > >> 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? > > Run "man gitattributes" and look for export-subst? > > Really nice feature, thanks. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/-RFC--Add-an-option-for-git-archive-to-output-commit-ID-in-alternative-ways-tp2414580p2416431.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ```
