+git-hash-object(1)
+==================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--stdin] [--] <file>...
+
+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.
