Ah, I was not following the thread closely and I agree with you and Franck now in that smaller number of commands the better. (IOW, download-archive in my 3-item list is not needed in the end user UI and can be implemented as "git-archive-tree --remote=<repo>).
OK, I'm sending what I've been able to do so far. It has been done before you sent some feedbacks one day ago, so please forgive me if, for the moment, I called "git-archive" instead of "git-archive-tree" or if I missed some of your points; I'll change that. I'm sending 2 patches, which are sent to get some comments. They're not for inclusion in anyways. The pathspec area has been pick up from Rene's initial patch. I have not enough git's internal knowledge to improve it. But I'll be glad to look at this later (if you have any clues for starting point BTW). -- Franck - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
