Johannes Schindelin 2c6e477195 [PATCH] Assorted documentation patches
[jc: Johannes spent time and effort to see how consistent our
use of terminilogy is, and as a byproduct made these corrections
not related to the terminology unification.  I really appreciate
it.]

git-tar-tree(1)
===============
v0.1, May 2005
NAME
----
git-tar-tree - Creates a tar archive of the files in the named tree
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-tar-tree' <tree-ish> [ <base> ]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the named tree.
When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the
generated tar archive.
git-tar-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given
a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is used as
modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter case the
commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead.
Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header.
It can be extracted using git-get-tar-commit-id.
