Note that the usage is subtly different, +though - 'paths' denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying +directory name (without '-r') will behave differently, and order of the +arguments does not matter. + +OPTIONS +------- +<tree-ish>:: + Id of a tree-ish. + +-d:: + Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children. + +-r:: + Recurse into sub-trees. + +-t:: + Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect + if '-r' was not passed. '-d' implies '-t'. + +-z:: + \0 line termination on output. + +--name-only:: +--name-status:: + List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line. + +--abbrev[=<n>]:: + Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object + lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix. + Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. + +paths:: + When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw + pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match). Otherwise + implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument. + + +Output Format +------------- + <mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file> + +When the `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters +in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively. + + +Author +------ +Written by Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> +Completely rewritten from scratch by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>, +another major rewrite by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list +<git@vger.kernel.org>. + +This manual page is a stub.
