+git-archive(1)
+==============
+
+NAME
+----
+git-archive - Creates a archive of the files in the named tree
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-archive' --format=<fmt> [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
+ [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [path...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree
+structure for the named tree. If <prefix> is specified it is
+prepended to the filenames in the archive.
+
+'git-archive' 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 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 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
+comment.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--format=<fmt>::
+ Format of the resulting archive: 'tar', 'zip'...
+
+--list::
+ Show all available formats.
+
+--prefix=<prefix>/::
+ Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive.
+
+<extra>::
+ This can be any options that the archiver backend understand.
+
+--remote=<repo>::
+ Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
+ retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
+
+<tree-ish>::
+ The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
+
+path::
+ If one or more paths are specified, include only these in the
+ archive, otherwise include all files and subdirectories.
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777 in tar
+archives. It is possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable
+in the repository configuration as follows :
+
+[tar]
+ umask = 002 ;# group friendly
+
+The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask
+will be used instead. The default value remains 0, which means world
+readable/writable files and directories.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)::
+
+ Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the
+ latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in
+ `/var/tmp/junk` directory.
+
+git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
+
+ Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release.
+
+git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
+
+ Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a
+ global extended pax header.
+
+git archive --format=zip --prefix=git-docs/ HEAD:Documentation/ > git-1.4.0-docs.zip::
+
+ Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory
+ into 'git-1.4.0-docs.zip', with the prefix 'git-docs/'.

+git-show-ref(1)
+===============
+
+NAME
+----
+git-show-ref - List references in a local repository
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-show-ref' [-q|--quiet] [--verify] [-h|--head] [-d|--dereference]
+ [-s|--hash] [--tags] [--heads] [--] <pattern>...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Displays references available in a local repository along with the associated
+commit IDs. Results can be filtered using a pattern and tags can be
+dereferenced into object IDs. Additionally, it can be used to test whether a
+particular ref exists.
+
+Use of this utility is encouraged in favor of directly accessing files under
+in the `.git` directory.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-h, --head::
+
+ Show the HEAD reference.
+
+--tags, --heads::
+
+ Limit to only "refs/heads" and "refs/tags", respectively. These
+ options are not mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored
+ in "refs/heads" and "refs/tags" are displayed.
+
+-d, --dereference::
+
+ Dereference tags into object IDs. They will be shown with "^{}"
+ appended.
+
+-s, --hash::
+
+ Only show the SHA1 hash, not the reference name. When also using
+ --dereference the dereferenced tag will still be shown after the SHA1,
+ this maybe a bug.
+
+--verify::
+
+ Enable stricter reference checking by requiring an exact ref path.
+ Aside from returning an error code of 1, it will also print an error
+ message if '--quiet' was not specified.
+
+-q, --quiet::
+
+ Do not print any results to stdout. When combined with '--verify' this
+ can be used to silently check if a reference exists.
+
+<pattern>::
+
+ Show references matching one or more patterns.
+
+OUTPUT
+------
+
+The output is in the format: '<SHA-1 ID>' '<space>' '<reference name>'.

+03adf42c988195b50e1a1935ba5fcbc39b2b029b
+...
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+
+To show all references called "master", whether tags or heads or anything
+else, and regardless of how deep in the reference naming hierarchy they are,
+use:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ git show-ref master
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This will show "refs/heads/master" but also "refs/remote/other-repo/master",
+if such references exists.
+
+When using the '--verify' flag, the command requires an exact path:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ git show-ref --verify refs/heads/master
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+will only match the exact branch called "master".
+
+If nothing matches, gitlink:git-show-ref[1] will return an error code of 1,
+and in the case of verification, it will show an error message.
+
+For scripting, you can ask it to be quiet with the "--quiet" flag, which
+allows you to do things like
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ git-show-ref --quiet --verify -- "refs/heads/$headname" ||
+ echo "$headname is not a valid branch"
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+to check whether a particular branch exists or not (notice how we don't
+actually want to show any results, and we want to use the full refname for it
+in order to not trigger the problem with ambiguous partial matches).
+
+To show only tags, or only proper branch heads, use "--tags" and/or "--heads"
+respectively (using both means that it shows tags and heads, but not other
+random references under the refs/ subdirectory).
+
+To do automatic tag object dereferencing, use the "-d" or "--dereference"
+flag, so you can do
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ git show-ref --tags --dereference
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+to get a listing of all tags together with what they dereference.
