   5----
   6git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file

   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--stdin | --stdin-paths] [--] <file>...
  12
  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
  16with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
  17work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
  18object database.  Reports its object ID to its standard output.
  19This is used by "git-cvsimport" to update the index
  20without modifying files in the work tree.  When <type> is not
  21specified, it defaults to "blob".

  34
