Hi,

I'm having a bare git repository on a server.

I'd like to be able to concurrently (multiuser) create tar files from
certain commmit ids.

How can I do this most efficiently.


How I do this today:
- ssh to the server.
- clone the bare repository to a temp directory.
- checkout a certain version.
- remove the .git directory
- tar it up
- scp it to my local host
- remove the temp directory and the tar file

svn had the command 'export'


Thanks a lot for help or pointing me to existing scripts / tools.

```

git archive --prefix=foo/ $sha1 | gzip > foo.tar.gz

See git-archive(1).

-- ams

Thanks a lot for your answer.

That's what I was looking for :-)
