   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11[verse]
  12'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--stdin] [--] <file>...
  13'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths < <list-of-paths>

  15DESCRIPTION
  16-----------
  17Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
  18with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
  19work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
  20object database.  Reports its object ID to its standard output.
  21This is used by 'git-cvsimport' to update the index
  22without modifying files in the work tree.  When <type> is not
  23specified, it defaults to "blob".
