SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git get-tar-commit-id' < <tarfile>
+[verse]
+'git get-tar-commit-id'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by
-'git-archive'. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its
-runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much.
-
-If no commit ID is found, 'git-get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a
-return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created
-using 'git-archive' or if the first parameter of 'git-archive' had been
-a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag.
+Read a tar archive created by 'git archive' from the standard input
+and extract the commit ID stored in it. It reads only the first
+1024 bytes of input, thus its runtime is not influenced by the size
+of the tar archive very much.
