Subject: git: Add metadata to the result of `git archive`
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~119
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bd4d31be073166fc69b131e6375b55033b83b1c0;p=xen.git

git: Add metadata to the result of `git archive`

When building Xen from a source tarball, commit information is usually lost,
especially if the tarball was generated from a tag.

Have `git archive` automatically fill in metadata at the point of creating the
archive, which is especially useful when using web snapshot links such as:

  http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz

to obtain the tarball.
