CC me on answers please, since I'm not subscribed to the list Hello, I would like to ask a question about commit restriction added to git archive by commit (ee27ca4a: archive: don't let remote clients get unreachable commits, 2011-11-17) and following efforts to loosen them a bit. In out company we are using git together with source indexing. We store a git command for retrieval of source code file that was used for building into pdb file(s). Currently, we are using an invocation of git archive with --remote parameter and commit sha1 to export exactly the source code that was used for build. The above mentioned commit removed possibility to do that. I have read about efforts to loosen the restrictions, but I'm not sure whenever ability to export arbitrary sha1 will be allowed too. Can anybody clarify that for me please?
