<div class="paragraph"><p><em>git archive</em> behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when
given a commit ID or tag ID.  In the first case the current time is
used as the modification time of each file in the archive.  In the latter
case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is
used instead.  Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global
extended pax header if the tar format is used; it can be extracted
using <em>git get-tar-commit-id</em>. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
comment.</p></div>

        is not given, and the output file is specified, the format is
        inferred from the filename if possible (e.g. writing to "foo.zip"
        makes the output to be in the zip format). Otherwise the output

        This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
        tar archive entries.  The default is 0002, which turns off the
        world write bit.  The special value "user" indicates that the
        archiving user&#8217;s umask will be used instead.  See umask(2) for
        details.  If <code>--remote</code> is used then only the configuration of
        the remote repository takes effect.

<dt class="hdlist1">
tar.&lt;format&gt;.command
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This variable specifies a shell command through which the tar
        output generated by <code>git archive</code> should be piped. The command
        is executed using the shell with the generated tar file on its
        standard input, and should produce the final output on its
        standard output. Any compression-level options will be passed
        to the command (e.g., "-9"). An output file with the same
        extension as <code>&lt;format&gt;</code> will be use this format if no other
        format is given.

        If true, enable <code>&lt;format&gt;</code> for use by remote clients via

        user-defined formats, but true for the "tar.gz" and "tgz"

appropriate export-ignore in its <code>.gitattributes</code>), adjust the checked out
<code>.gitattributes</code> file as necessary and use <code>--worktree-attributes</code>
