15 | DESCRIPTION | |
16 | ----------- | |
17 | Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type | |
18 | with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the | |
19 | work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the | |
20 | object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output. | |
0b444cdb | 21 | This is used by 'git cvsimport' to update the index |
7672db20 | 22 | without modifying files in the work tree. When <type> is not |
a6080a0a | 23 | specified, it defaults to "blob". |

25 | OPTIONS |
26 | ------- | |
27 | ||
28 | -t <type>:: | |
29 | Specify the type (default: "blob"). | |
30 | ||
31 | -w:: | |
32 | Actually write the object into the object database. | |
7672db20 | 33 | |
024510c8 DB |
34 | --stdin:: |
35 | Read the object from standard input instead of from a file. | |
36 | ||
d8ee4832 | 37 | --stdin-paths:: |
33e8fc87 JH |
38 | Read file names from the standard input, one per line, instead |
39 | of from the command-line. | |
d8ee4832 | 40 | |
39702431 DP |
41 | --path:: |
42 | Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of | |
43 | file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is | |
2de9b711 | 44 | used to determine what Git filters should be applied to the object |
39702431 DP |
45 | before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of |
46 | applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may | |
47 | differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing | |
48 | temporary files located outside of the working directory or files | |
49 | read from stdin. | |
50 | ||
4a3d85dc DP |
51 | --no-filters:: |
52 | Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would | |
6b677a28 | 53 | have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including the end-of-line |
4a3d85dc | 54 | conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this |
83115ac4 ES |
55 | is always implied, unless the `--path` option is given. |
56 | ||
57 | --literally:: | |
58 | Allow `--stdin` to hash any garbage into a loose object which might not | |
59 | otherwise pass standard object parsing or git-fsck checks. Useful for | |
60 | stress-testing Git itself or reproducing characteristics of corrupt or | |
61 | bogus objects encountered in the wild. | |
