Get tree of changed files between versions and save it to TAR archive
git diff-tree -r --no-commit-id --name-only --diff-filter=ACMRT $commit_id | xargs tar -rf mytarfile.tar- git diff-tree -r $commit_id:- Take a diff of the given commit to its parent(s) (including all subdirectories, not just the top directory).
- --no-commit-id --name-only:- Do not output the commit SHA1. Output only the names of the affected files instead of a full diff.
- --diff-filter=ACMRT:- Only show files added, copied, modified, renamed or that had their type changed (eg. file → symlink) in this commit. This leaves out deleted files.
