not be combined with any other options or arguments. See the
section `BATCH OUTPUT` below for details.
+--batch-all-objects::
+ Instead of reading a list of objects on stdin, perform the
+ requested batch operation on all objects in the repository and
+ any alternate object stores (not just reachable objects).
+ Requires `--batch` or `--batch-check` be specified. Note that
+ the objects are visited in order sorted by their hashes.
+
+--buffer::
+ Normally batch output is flushed after each object is output, so
+ that a process can interactively read and write from
+ `cat-file`. With this option, the output uses normal stdio
+ buffering; this is much more efficient when invoking
+ `--batch-check` on a large number of objects.
+
--allow-unknown-type::
Allow -s or -t to query broken/corrupt objects of unknown type.
