Re: [PATCH v3 07/11] Documentation/replace: tell that -f option bypasses the type check

Hi,

Does `hash-object` do the inverese of `cat-file commit`?

I didn't find the hash-object(1) man page very informative on that matter

Hm.  The manpage says:

	Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
	with the contents of the named file [...], and optionally writes
	the resulting object into the object database.

And then:

	-w
		Actually write the object into the object database.

Any ideas for making this clearer?

Thanks,
Jonathan
