If you look at 'man gitattributes' you'll find a description of the 'ident' attribute which is expanded to the SHA1 of the containing file during checkout. There is also a description of the 'export-subst' attribute which can be used to expand keywords when generating tar/zip files with 'git-archive'. It supports commit SHA1 and date, among others. Btw: using git-archive means that you don't need a local repository on the webserver, you only need a proper git installation. Essentially, you can update your webserver 'checkout' with something like this: $ git archive --remote=<url> --prefix=somepath/ master | tar -x -- larsh - 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
