Git command to export only changed files between two commits

Raw

gistfile1.txt

git archive --output=file.zip HEAD $(git diff --name-only SHA1 SHA2)

borgle commented Jul 11, 2016

git diff --name-only SHA1..SHA2 | xargs tar -zcf update.tar.gz

or

tar -zcf update.tar.gz git diff --name-only SHA1..SHA2

For some weird reason, when I try tar -zcf (attempting to generate a gzipped version) it just doesn't save all the affected files. However, if I use tar -rf it does work as intended.

Any idea why that is ocurring?
