Re: How to put tree into index

1. I have repository with tree like this:

dir1/
	file1
	file2
	file3

dir2/
	subdir1/
		some files


2. Current branch is B.

3. I want to get dir1 from branch A, and save it's content on current
branch (B) as dir2/subdir1

So my question is
How to put into index tree-object with known sha1 and given name?

git rm -r --cached dir2/subdir1 &&
git read-tree --prefix=dir2/subdir1/ A:dir1

Note the trailing slash.

PS I was able to do what I need when copied files, not tree-itself.
Just add -r to git ls-tree, and put into index blobs/files, not tree.
But I'm interested: is it possible to put tree-object into index?

No, because the index does not store trees, only blobs.
