It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its 18runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much. 19 20If no commit ID is found, git-get-tar-commit-id quietly exists with a 21return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created 22using git-tar-tree or if the first parameter of git-tar-tree had been 23a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag. 24 25 26Author 27------ 28Written by Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> 29 30Documentation 31-------------- 32Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 33 34GIT 35--- 36Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 37
