I'm trying to create a tarball from a git tag and I can't get the syntax right. The documentation is not very clear. Can someone help me? == details git v1.8.1.4 The upstream git repo is at: https://github.com/dkovar/analyzeMFT Here's a few attempts using git as the protocol: > git archive --format=tar --remote=github.com:dkovar/analyzeMFT.git v2.0.4 Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly > git archive --format=tar --remote=git://github.com/dkovar/analyzeMFT v2.0.4 fatal: remote error Your Git client has made an invalid request: 003agit-upload-archive /dkovar/analyzeMFT > git archive --format=tar --remote=//github.com/dkovar/analyzeMFT v2.0.4 remote: fatal: '//github.com/dkovar/analyzeMFT.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: sent error to the client: git upload-archive: archiver died with error remote: git upload-archive: archiver died with error The github page also says I can use ssh with git as the user, but that complains I don't have the private key (which I don't): git archive --format=tar --remote=ssh://git@github/com/dkovar/analyzeMFT.git v2.0.4 Thanks Greg -- 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
