See the section `BATCH OUTPUT` below for details. +--batch-all-objects:: + Instead of reading a list of objects on stdin, perform the + requested batch operation on all objects in the repository and + any alternate object stores (not just reachable objects). + Requires `--batch` or `--batch-check` be specified. Note that + the objects are visited in order sorted by their hashes. + +--buffer:: + Normally batch output is flushed after each object is output, so + that a process can interactively read and write from + `cat-file`. With this option, the output uses normal stdio + buffering; this is much more efficient when invoking + `--batch-check` on a large number of objects. + --allow-unknown-type:: Allow -s or -t to query broken/corrupt objects of unknown type. |
