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

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 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/).

As per https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11688 

Could someone clarify if this is the right google code issue to request an 
improvement to the tarball generation, such that when generating new tarball 
from the repository it gets a base directory identifying project and tag or 
branch?

Also, it would be great if the tarball generation created stable tarballs with 
matching hashes.  That can be achieved by using the timestamp in the git commit 
as the timestamp of the files in the tarball.
