Hi there!

I just studied
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/core-tutorial.html
to get more into the details of git. But the following commands:

$ git-cat-file -t 557db03de997c86a4a028e1ebd3a1ceb225be238
$ git-cat-file "blob" 557db03

just bring up a

fatal: Not a valid object name 557db03de

I guess the documentation is slightly outdated and might need a fix.

Works for me.  The precise names there depend on the files you create
being byte-for-byte identical to the ones created by the echo commands
in the tutorial.  If yours aren't identical, then you should just use
the names that the previous ls command instead.
