If you want to back up the HEAD commit, use git-archive as follows: $ git archive --prefix=my-backup/ HEAD | gzip >my-backup.tar.gz If you want to back up the working directory, commit it to a temporary branch before you use 'git archive'. -- Sverre Hvammen Johansen -- 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
