SYNOPSIS

11[verse]
12'git get-tar-commit-id' < <tarfile>

DESCRIPTION
16-----------
17Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by
18'git archive'. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its
19runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much.
2021
If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a
22return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created
23using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been
24a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag.
