You're probably looking for the git bundle command (see git bundle --help), but it's possible you might just want to use tar. Hope that helps, Great thanks Dan, comes in under 2 megs, thats great.

If you need to export the repository *history* of one or more references (branches or tags), use `git bundle` to create a specially-formatted file which can be imported using Git on another machine. If you need to just export the snapshot of the files maintained in the repository at the specified commit, use `git export`. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

You're probably looking for the git bundle command (see git bundle --help), but it's possible you might just want to use tar. Please note that a git bundle will contain the contents of the repository (commits, log messages, etc) but not the local configuration like .git/config, .git/info/*, nor some other information like the reflogs (history of old values of references). This is probably what you want. A tar of the .git directory, by contrast, would include this local information unless you exclude it explicitly.
