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.
