Josh Micich f1cf2d8b14 mktree --batch: build more than one tree object
This option works in a similar way to the '--batch' option of 'git cat-file'.
It enables creation of many tree objects with a single process.

The change was motivated by performance considerations in applications that
need to create many tree objects. A non-rigorous test showed tree creation
times improved from (roughly) 200ms to 50ms.

=============
NAME
----
git-mktree - Build a tree-object from ls-tree formatted text
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git mktree' [-z] [--missing] [--batch]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reads standard input in non-recursive `ls-tree` output format, and creates
a tree object. The order of the tree entries is normalised by mktree so
pre-sorting the input is not required. The object name of the tree object
built is written to the standard output.
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 sha1 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 as single blank line. The final new-line is
optional. Note - if the '-z' option is used, lines are terminated
with NUL.
