# exportit -- a simple little script to export something from a
# git repository and create a "release" tarbal of it, in mostly
# automated fasion.  Re-written from an earlier CVS version.

# Note that people getting this with ttyload will presumably have no
# reason to use it in conjunction with ttyload, unless they're forking
# their own version.  I'd much prefer to get patches or pull requests
# (e.g. on GitHub, though from your own git repo is fine, too).

# if you're wanting to use this script for some other project,
# and you want to call your release something other than the
# name of the directory above this one (.., but by name), change
# the "false" below to "true", and the "xyzprod" to whatever you
# want to call things.  Note that your tagging will have to also
# be changed appropriately.

if false
then
    # override the name of what to call stuff:
    name="xyzprod"
else
    # make sure name is unset, so that the ${name:-blah}
    # expansion below doesn't get stuff from your environment
    # accidentally
    unset name

name="${name:-ttyload}" # this used to be automatic, from CVS info.  Skipping that now.

	echo "Please remove it or update your Version file to proceed." >&2

# let the user know what the settings came up with:
echo "Creating export of $name version $version (tag: $tagname)"

# export, and if that fails, bail.
