The problem is that I'm on the build machine, and the repository is on the remote server. I suppose I could do "(ssh server GIT_DIR=/repo.git git-tar-tree HEAD) | tar -xf -", but that's not quite the most clear thing, and I'd have to split up the URLs. Also, it wouldn't work with only git: access to the repository. (On the other hand, it does work for my actual application, I'm doing it from a Makefile, and it's blazingly fast, so I guess I'm set.) -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
