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

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