   9SYNOPSIS

  11'git-zip-tree' [-0|...|-9] <tree-ish> [ <base> ]
  12
  13DESCRIPTION

  16When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the
  17generated ZIP archive.

  19git-zip-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 as an archive comment.
  24
  25Currently git-zip-tree can handle only files and directories, symbolic
  26links are not supported.
