Create an archive of every version of a file to have every been committed to a subdirectory

sha-test

Create an archive of every version of a file to have every been committed to a subdirectory.

Directories

files/ directory keeps up to date copy of a file. archive/ directory will contain list of directories, each the sha of a version of a file, with the contents (retaining directory structure) of that commit inside.

Considerations

If a file doesn't exist in files/ directory then it won't get archived. This allows a way to unpublish files from the archive/ directory. It should be simple enough to step back through all commits and discover historical files though.

Usage

# ./archive.sh <source> <archive>

Like so:

$ ./archive.sh files archive

[step 1. clean down archive]
