git-write-tree - Creates a tree from the current cache
git-write-tree [--missing-ok]
Creates a tree object using the current cache.
The cache must be merged.
Conceptually, "git-write-tree" sync()s the current directory cache contents into a set of tree files. In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right now, you need to have done a "git-update-cache" phase before you did the "git-write-tree".
Normally "git-write-tree" ensures that the objects referenced by the directory exist in the object database. This option disables this check.
