Git : How to get a snapshot of a git repository
I'm looking for the right way to get an archive of a git repository without the .git/ directory in order to send a daily snapshot to testers.

This will result in archive.tar.gz and add a prefix dir named "prefix-dir":
git archive --prefix=prefix-dir/ -o archive.tar HEAD
gzip archive.tar

git archive HEAD --format=zip > archive.zip
This does what it says on the tin.
