Subject: Bug: git-archive: --add-virtual-file doesn't seem to respect --prefix
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:07:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <65cdaa23.MHIIVADqwryAD0ON%rmy@frippery.org> (raw)

The man page for git-archive has similar language regarding the
--add-file and --add-virtual-file options:

   The path of the file in the archive is built by concatenating the
   value of the last --prefix option (if any) before...

However this doesn't seem to be true for --add-virtual-file.  In any
git repository:

   $ touch real_added_file
   $ git archive --format=tar --prefix=prefix/ --add-file=real_added_file \
      --add-virtual-file=virtual_added_file: HEAD | \
      tar tvf - | grep added_file
   -rw-rw-r-- root/root         0 2017-02-22 17:18 prefix/real_added_file
   -rw-rw-r-- root/root         0 2017-02-22 17:18 virtual_added_file

I expected to see 'prefix/virtual_added_file'.

Ron
