    <p>I need to setup a git repository on a place that has restrictions on the filetypes and contents. Of course, that could become a pain for synchronizing so I could overcome that limitation by archiving the repository.</p> <p>However, archiving the repository would make the archive to be just that: an archive or a file without repository posibilities.</p> <p><strong>I wonder, is there any way to make git interact with an archived repository</strong> (let's say, a .zip file) <strong>as a full functional repository</strong>, with the only difference that it is contained in a different file system structure?</p> <p>I would love to be able to do something like this, if possible at all:</p> <pre><code>git clone /myRepo /otherlocation/repo.zip # myRepo is a directory with all the files # repo.zip is a compressed zip file # could git treat both as repositories anyway -- any approach? </code></pre> <p>I would like to be able to perform other clones, pushes and pulls to this archive, as a way to sync different local repositories with this restricted location I have.</p> <p><strong>Background</strong>:</p> <p>I need to work on a project and I haven't been given any place to host my repositories. For the moment, I'm working with a local copy of a git repository I created, but I would like to have that synced in a real server. As I haven't been given any place to put my code, I am thinking in using a Sharepoint folder for documentation regarding the project. Sharepoint does provide limitations on the type of files I can post to it, and I can have the server set up so I can access it's document library as an UNC path.</p> <p>However, I can overcome the filetypes limitation by archiving everything into a .zip file and uploading it. Instead of doing all of that manually every time, I would like to see if git (or anything else) can take care of that for me.</p>

    1. COThis could probably done with a commit hook that zips up and uploads the repository whenever you commit - see http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks

    2. COWhat kind of operating system are you using? Why can't you use `git archive` ?
