Hello, I am developing a web interface, part of which allows the user to download a tarball of a directory (which is in a bare repostitory on the filesystem) on clicking on a link. This is how I am planning on doing it. Just wanted to assess whether this is efficient enough, or if anyone knows of a better way. I haven't tried this out yet though, so I don't know if it will work at all. - list all the files/folders in the directory (i have the sha1 hash of the directory) - foreach file in the directory, get the file contents (recurse if there are further subdirectories). Probably store the result in an array. - create a file somewhere on the filesystem out of each file output above. Store it under the directory name. - create a tarball out of the 'working' directory as usual. I was wondering if I can get away without having to create a working version out of the bare version of the directory (create each file in the directory and store it somewhere on the filesystem), and then compress it as usual. I hope someone has a much simpler answer to this problem! Thanks, Jawad. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Creating-a-tarball-out-of-a-directory-in-a-bare-git-repository-tp27750115p27750115.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
