13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
5f3aa197 15Creates a tree object using the current index.
2cf565c5 16
61f693bd 17The index must be in a fully merged state.
2cf565c5 18
ba020ef5 19Conceptually, 'git-write-tree' sync()s the current index contents
2cf565c5
DG
20into a set of tree files.
21In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right

22now, you need to have done a 'git-update-index' phase before you did the
23'git-write-tree'.

26OPTIONS
27-------
28--missing-ok::
ba020ef5 29 Normally 'git-write-tree' ensures that the objects referenced by the
61f693bd
JL
30 directory exist in the object database. This option disables this
31 check.

33--prefix=<prefix>/::
34 Writes a tree object that represents a subdirectory
35 `<prefix>`. This can be used to write the tree object
36 for a subproject that is in the named subdirectory.
