Re: Feature request: Allow extracting revisions into directories

That is actually a pretty interesting approach. I can use a different
index file for different deployments. How does this cooperate with bare
repositories? Aren't they supposed to have no index file at all?

My advice is to keep a separate index file for your exported files.
Like this:

	GIT_DIR=$(readlink -f $(git rev-parse --git-dir))
	GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_DIR/index-for-deployment
	export GIT_DIR GIT_INDEX_FILE

	cd $dest
	git read-tree -m -u <tree>

Hope that helps,
