This option disables this + check. + +--prefix=<prefix>/:: + Writes a tree object that represents a subdirectory + `<prefix>`. This can be used to write the tree object + for a subproject that is in the named subdirectory. + + +Author +------ +Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[7] suite |
