This works, but seems cumbersome. If you are lucky and they used "git archive": gunzip <$TARBALL | git get-tar-commit-id Otherwise: maybe something like this[1] will work. tar_id=$( git init tarball && cd tarball && perl /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl $TARBALL && git rev-parse --verify HEAD: ) && rm -fr tarball && git rev-list --full-history --format='%h %T' HEAD | grep " $tar_id\$" [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/44750/focus=44849 -- 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
