SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git mktree' [-z]
+'git mktree' [-z] [--missing] [--batch]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Reads standard input in non-recursive `ls-tree` output format,
-and creates a tree object. The object name of the tree object
+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.
