Hi,

After looking in a few places for a tool to create an archive when
pushing tags to a central repository, I have given up and wrote my own.

It's grown into a fairly complete perl script that runs either as a
post-receive or update hook and creates a tarball (or zip file) using
git-archive in a specific directory. It can also optionnally generate an
MD5 sum of the tarball.

Part of this work was sponsored by Koumbit[1] and done for the Aegir
project[2].

The code itself is available on our git repository[3]. I will also write
a small subsection in the tools page of the wiki[4].

Comments and improvements welcome.

Enjoy!

A.
