Hello all! I am a new GIT user, I like it, so I started playing with it for different projects I work on. Currently I am playing with "Linux from Scratch", and I have written some scripts to automatize the build process -- kind of install scripts... For this I use GIT to store all the source packages -- each inside it's own branch :). My question is the following: How can I export an entire tree without using a working directory, or cloning the repository. (Because from what I have seen so far there is no way to use the same repository with many working directories...) Now I know that I can use "git archive | tar -x"... I am looking for the same functionality but without the intermediary file... Maybe something like "git archive --format=tree <branch>"... Also there is also a possible drawback by using git archive with tar format, that is if I decide to make the repository available to the public then it would be nice to have this export functionality... I think this could be also used for kernel sources as an alternative to downloading the tar.bz2 file or copying the entire tree... Thank you all for your feedback!
