  13DESCRIPTION

  19git-tar-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given
  20a commit ID or tag ID.  In the first case the current time is used as
  21modification time of each file in the archive.  In the latter case the
  22commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead.
  23Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header.
  24It can be extracted using git-get-tar-commit-id.
