git-write-tree

---

gitwrite -tree [ --missing -ok] [ --prefix=<prefix>/]

---

---

Creates a tree object using the current index . The name of the new tree object is printed to standard output .

---

The index must be in a fully merged state .

---

Conceptually, gitwrite -tree sync()s the current index contents into a set of tree files . In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right now, you need to have done a gitupdate -index phase before you did the gitwrite -tree .

--missing -ok Normally gitwrite -tree ensures that the objects referenced by the directory exist in the object database . This option disables this check .

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