--stdin-paths::
Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.
+--path::
+ Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of
+ file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is
+ used to determine what git filters should be applied to the object
+ before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
+ applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may
+ differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing
+ temporary files located outside of the working directory or files
+ read from stdin.
+
+--no-filters::
+ Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would
+ have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including crlf
+ conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this
+ is always implied, unless the --path option is given.
