DESCRIPTION
-----------
Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree
-structure for the named tree. If <prefix> is specified it is
+structure for the named tree, and writes it out to the standard
+output. If <prefix> is specified it is
prepended to the filenames in the archive.
-'git-archive' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when
+`git-archive` behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when
given a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is
used as modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter
case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is
used instead. Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global
extended pax header if the tar format is used; it can be extracted
-using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
+using `git-get-tar-commit-id`. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
comment.
OPTIONS
-------
--format=<fmt>::
- Format of the resulting archive: 'tar', 'zip'... The default
+ Format of the resulting archive: 'tar' or 'zip'. The default
is 'tar'.
---list, -l::
+-l::
+--list::
Show all available formats.
---verbose, -v::
+-v::
+--verbose::
Report progress to stderr.
--prefix=<prefix>/::
Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
+--exec=<git-upload-archive>::
+ Used with --remote to specify the path to the
+ `git-upload-archive` on the remote side.
+
<tree-ish>::
The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
CONFIGURATION
-------------
-By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777 in tar
-archives. It is possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable
-in the repository configuration as follows :
-
-[tar]
- umask = 002 ;# group friendly
-The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask
-will be used instead. The default value remains 0, which means world
-readable/writable files and directories.
+tar.umask::
+ This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
+ tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
+ world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
+ archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for
+ details.
