Hi.
I have been playing with git-archive for and hour or so, but can't get
it to pass "extra" options to tar as it's documented that it should, or
am i reading the docs wrong ?
git-archive --format=<fmt> [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
[--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [path…]
<extra>
This can be any options that the archiver backend understand.
See next section.
I want to git tar the "--exclude=option", but i can't get it through.
Is this option only valid for the zip format with the options "-0" and
"-9" ?
Kind regards
Niki Guldbrand

Yes. The tar backend currently doesn't support any extra options.

The "next section" that sentence refers to is "BACKEND EXTRA
OPTIONS" section, which lists -0 and -9 for zip backend. There
is no --exclude=option in either tar or zip backend.
Note that we do not use GNU tar or zip as archiver backends.
