URL to download tar/zip archive of a project #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Support downloading a tar (or zip) archive of a revision, e.g. 
/+archive/revision.tar.gz or /+archive/revision.zip to download a tgz or a zip.

This would be very handy.

For example I just wanted to compile a kernel and I had to get the whole (huge) 
git repository for https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt when just 
a checkout of a specific revision would have been enough.

You can get an entire tree at just a specific revision via git with a shallow 
clone.

for me this is a blocker, as this is a very important requirement in my 
environment, both: cgit and gitweb are having the feature

This is much easier now that JGit has archive support merged upstream.

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/47141/ added /+archive/ support. The 
details of the archive that produces aren't set in stone yet (e.g., I'd like to 
make project-revision.tar.gz prefix pathnames of its entries with 
project-revision/).
