Well, I guess in the meantime I'll just do this: git commit -m dummy --allow-empty --date=1970-01-01T00:00:00Z git archive HEAD | docker build - git reset HEAD~ Or even (slightly more atomically) this: git archive HEAD | { tmpdir=`mktemp -d` && tar x -C"$tmpdir" && tar c -C"$tmpdir" --mtime=1970-01-01T00:00:00Z . && rm -r "$tmpdir"; } | docker build - -- 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
