Remove a reference to git-cvsimport in the intro. As can be seen from the history of this command[1] it was originally intended for use with git-cvsimport, but how it uses it (and that it uses it at all) is irrelevant trivia at this point. 1.

==================

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin [--literally]] [--] <file>...
|
|
'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters]
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
--stdin-paths::
|
|
Read file names from the standard input, one per line, 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 the end-of-line
|
|
conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this
|
|
is always implied, unless the `--path` option is given.
|
|
|
|
--literally::
|
|
Allow `--stdin` to hash any garbage into a loose object which might not
|
|
otherwise pass standard object parsing or git-fsck checks. Useful for
|
|
stress-testing Git itself or reproducing characteristics of corrupt or
|
|
bogus objects encountered in the wild.
