This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-cat-file - Provide content or type/size information for repository objects
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-cat-file' [-t | -s | -e | -p | <type>] <object>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Provides content or type of objects in the repository. The type
|
|
is required unless '-t' or '-p' is used to find the object type,
|
|
or '-s' is used to find the object size.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<object>::
|
|
The name of the object to show.
|
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see
|
|
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
-t::
|
|
Instead of the content, show the object type identified by
|
|
<object>.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
Instead of the content, show the object size identified by
|
|
<object>.
|
|
|
|
-e::
|
|
Suppress all output; instead exit with zero status if <object>
|
|
exists and is a valid object.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
Pretty-print the contents of <object> based on its type.
|
|
|
|
<type>::
|
|
Typically this matches the real type of <object> but asking
|
|
for a type that can trivially be dereferenced from the given
|
|
<object> is also permitted. An example is to ask for a
|
|
"tree" with <object> being a commit object that contains it,
|
|
or to ask for a "blob" with <object> being a tag object that
|
|
points at it.
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
If '-t' is specified, one of the <type>.
|
|
|
|
If '-s' is specified, the size of the <object> in bytes.
|
|
|
|
If '-e' is specified, no output.
|
|
|
|
If '-p' is specified, the contents of <object> are pretty-printed.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise the raw (though uncompressed) contents of the <object> will
|
|
be returned.
