| git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using git-archive |
| 'git get-tar-commit-id' < <tarfile> |
| Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by |
| 'git archive'. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its |
| runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much. |
| If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a |
| return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created |
| using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been |
| a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag. |
