Re: Passing commit IDs to git-archive

Stephen Bash [off-list ref] writes:

Unfortunately I just attempted

  warp:bar bash$ git archive --remote=file:///Users/bash/Development/foo \
                             --output=test.tgz 3b9e49b \
                             path/to/subdir

Thoughts?  Thanks in advance!

If you are always fetching from that same location, perhaps doing
this only once

	git clone file:///...

and then every time you want to use the test.tgz, do something like

	git fetch
        git archive --output=test.tgz 3b9e49b path/to/subdir

or something like that?
