Have a look at > Documentation/gitattributes.txt (I agree it is underdocumented in > git-archive.txt). The thing is that for some repositories I don't distinguish anything like a "release version" of files. For instance, I have a repository with my configuration files, and I want to be able to do scp emacs system-where-git-is-not-installed:.emacs or attaching the file in an email without worrying about anything. Instead, what you're describing would force me to do some voodoo magic priory to sending the file. -- Best regards, _ _ .o. | Liege of Serenly Enlightened Majesty of o' \,=./ `o ..o | Computer Science, Michal "mina86" Nazarewicz (o o) ooo +--<mina86*tlen.pl>--<jid:mina86*jabber.org>--ooO--(_)--Ooo--
