Re: does anything like cvs export exist in git?

[Mark Struberg <struberg@yahoo.de>]

Hi Shawn!

Since maven-scm should run under various OS (including Windoof) the tar thingy will not work out.

The second approach is close to my original attempt to simply clone + checkout + rm -rf .git, isn't?.

At least I now know that it's really unlikely that this functionality does exist yet.

txs and LieGrü,
strub
