git/Documentation/git-hash-object.txt
Thomas Rast 0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

git-hash-object(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin] [--] <file>...
'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths < <list-of-paths>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output.
This is used by 'git cvsimport' to update the index
without modifying files in the work tree. When <type> is not
specified, it defaults to "blob".
OPTIONS
-------
-t <type>::
Specify the type (default: "blob").
-w::
Actually write the object into the object database.
--stdin::
Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.
--stdin-paths::
Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.
--path::
Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of
file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is
used to determine what git filters should be applied to the object
before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may
differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing
temporary files located outside of the working directory or files
read from stdin.
--no-filters::
Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would
have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including crlf
conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this
is always implied, unless the --path option is given.
