Description Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2012-11-18 19:31:21 EST 
C Git's "git archive" command represents a tree object using a
    standard archival format like tar, zip, or tgz, ready for consumption
    by other, git-unaware users or tools.
    
    Add a bare-bones analagous "jgit archive" command to show what is
    possible, supporting only ZIP format for now.  It uses java.util.zip
    which is not aware of the InfoZIP extensions for representing symlinks
    and file permissions, so symlinks, executable files, and submodule
    entries are represented as plain text files.
    
    Making this functionality available from the library, improving
    handling of special entries, and support for other output formats are
    left for later patches.  Ultimately the intent is to offer a
    TreeArchiveStream class for use by web frontends like Gitiles to offer
    "download as zip/tgz/txz" links and use by, for example, code search
    tools to get easy access to the content of git tree objects.
