NAME

git-mktree - Build a tree-object from ls-tree formatted text

SYNOPSIS

git mktree [-z] [--missing] [--batch]

DESCRIPTION

Reads standard input in non-recursive ls-tree output format, and
creates a tree object. The order of the tree entries is normalized by
mktree so pre-sorting the input is not required. The object name of
the tree object built is written to the standard output.

OPTIONS

-z
Read the NUL-terminated ls-tree -z output instead.

--missing
Allow missing objects. The default behaviour (without this
option) is to verify that each tree entry's hash identifies an
existing object. This option has no effect on the treatment of
gitlink entries (aka "submodules") which are always allowed to be
missing.

--batch
Allow building of more than one tree object before exiting. Each
tree is separated by a single blank line. The final newline is
optional. Note - if the -z option is used, lines are terminated
with NUL.
