If you have a project which is setup like:
project
website
and you decide you wish to generate a tar archive of _just_ the 'project'
portion, git-tar-tree is not able to help. This patch adds two parameters
which can assist.
The first is '--pathlimit', which forces git-tar-tree to only generate the
tar archive for project; as in:
'git tar-tree --pathlimit=project project-1.0 tag-1.0'
The above command will mean that paths in the tar archive look like:
project-1.0/project/src/main.c
etc.
The second parameter allows you two strip the extraneous project, as in:
'git tar-tree --strippath=project --pathlimit=project project-1.0 tag-1.0 Which will result in tar archives looking like:
project-1.0/src/main.c
This could be made more general and more Git-ish instead, by
implementing a strip common prefix option and using a double dash option
to signal that the remaining arguments are the paths of interest.
The synopsis would then look like:
git-tar-tree [--remote=<repo>] [ --strip-common-prefix ]
<tree-ish> [ <base> ] [ -- <paths>... ]
