Hey,

I use git for a local versioning system and was wondering if there was a way that I could write a bash script that would get the paths of the files from the latest commit and then pipe them to ftp or ssh for deployment.

If you mean all the files that were touched by the last commit:

	git diff --name-only HEAD^..

If you mean all the files of the latest revision:

	git ls-tree --name-only -r HEAD

Both commands take -z options in which case they delimit the names with NULs for better parsability.

For example, to scp a complete file list from branch `topic' to `user@server', you could use `rsync' and do something like:

git checkout topic && git ls-tree -r --name-only | rsync -a -e ssh --files-from=- user@server:/path/to/dest

Note, that this is completely untested.  Use at your own risk.
