   4NAME
   5----
   6git-tar-tree - Create a tar archive of the files in the named tree object

   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11'git tar-tree' [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [ <base> ]
  12
  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15THIS COMMAND IS DEPRECATED.  Use 'git-archive' with `--format=tar`
  16option instead (and move the <base> argument to `--prefix=base/`).
  17
  18Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the named tree.
  19When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the
  20generated tar archive.
  21
  22'git-tar-tree' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given
  23a commit ID or tag ID.  In the first case the current time is used as
  24modification time of each file in the archive.  In the latter case the
  25commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead.
  26Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header.
  27It can be extracted using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'.
  28
  29OPTIONS
  30-------
  31
  32<tree-ish>::
  33        The tree or commit to produce tar archive for.  If it is
  34        the object name of a commit object.
  35
  36<base>::
  37        Leading path to the files in the resulting tar archive.
  38
  39--remote=<repo>::
  40        Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
  41        retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
  42
  43CONFIGURATION
  44-------------
  45
  46tar.umask::
  47        This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
  48        tar archive entries.  The default is 0002, which turns off the
  49        world write bit.  The special value "user" indicates that the
  50        archiving user's umask will be used instead.  See umask(2) for
  51        details.
