git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.
Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.
- The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
different archive backends to have different kind of options.
- The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
the archive given some already resolved parameters.
The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?
It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.
The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:
$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD
We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).

When --stdin option is given, in addition to the <rev>s listed
on the command line, the command can read one rev parameter per
line from the standard input. The list of revs ends at the
first empty line or EOF.
Note that you still have to give all the flags from the command
line; only rev arguments (including A..B, A...B, and A^@ notations)
can be give from the standard input.

The command unpack-objects dies upon the first error. This is
probably considered a feature -- if a pack is corrupt, instead
of trying to extract from it and possibly risking to contaminate
a good repository with objects whose validity is dubious, we
should seek a good copy of the pack and retry. However, we may
not have any good copy anywhere. This implements the last
resort effort to extract what are salvageable from such a
corrupt pack.
This flag might have helped Sergio when recovering from a
corrupt pack. In my test, it managed to salvage 247 objects out
of a pack that had 251 objects but without it the command
stopped after extracting 73 objects.

After a failed "git am" attempt:
git apply --reject --verbose .dotest/patch
applies hunks that are applicable and leaves *.rej files the
rejected hunks, and it reports what it is doing. With --index,
files with a rejected hunk do not get their index entries
updated at all, so "git diff" will show the hunks that
successfully got applied.
Without --verbose to remind the user that the patch updated some
other paths cleanly, it is very easy to lose track of the status
of the working tree, so --reject implies --verbose.

In the Windows world ZIP files are better supported than tar files.
Windows even includes built-in support for ZIP files nowadays.
git-zip-tree is similar to git-tar-tree; it creates ZIP files out of
git trees. It stores the commit ID (if available) in a ZIP file comment
which can be extracted by unzip.
There's still quite some room for improvement: this initial version
supports no symlinks, calls write() way too often (three times per file)
and there is no unit test.

By default, git-tar-tree(1) sets file and directories modes to 0666
or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such
as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects. With
this variable, it becomes possible to tell git-tar-tree(1) to apply
a specific umask to the modes above. The special value "user"
indicates that the user's current umask will be used. This should be
enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as
git-checkout(1) would use. The default value remains 0, which means
world read-write.

The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.
A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.
Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.
