git/Documentation/git-ls-tree.txt
Jakub Narebski a5bbda8b7b Add an option to git-ls-tree to display also the size of blob
Add -l/--long option to git-ls-tree command, which displays
object size of a blob entry.  Object size is placed after
object id (left-justified with minimum width of 7 characters).
For non-blob entries `-' is used.

Rationale: for non-blob entries size of an object has no much
meaning, and is not very interesting.  Moreover, in planned
pack v4 tree objects would be constructed on demand, so tree
size would need to be calculated.

git-ls-tree(1)
==============
NAME
----
git-ls-tree - List the contents of a tree object
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z]
[--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--abbrev=[<n>]]
<tree-ish> [paths...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly different,
though - 'paths' denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying
directory name (without '-r') will behave differently, and order of the
arguments does not matter.
OPTIONS
-------
<tree-ish>::
Id of a tree-ish.
-d::
Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children.
-r::
Recurse into sub-trees.
-t::
Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect
if '-r' was not passed. '-d' implies '-t'.
-l::
--long::
Show object size of blob (file) entries.
-z::
\0 line termination on output.
--name-only::
--name-status::
List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line.
--abbrev[=<n>]::
Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix.
Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.
--full-name::
Instead of showing the path names relative to the current working
directory, show the full path names.
paths::
When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw
pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match). Otherwise
implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument.
Output Format
-------------
<mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
When the `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively.
When the `-l` option is used, format changes to
<mode> SP <type> SP <object> SP <object size> TAB <file>
Object size identified by <object> is given in bytes, and right-justified
with minimum width of 7 characters. Object size is given only for blobs
(file) entries; for other entries `-` character is used in place of size.
