"cat-file -p" is meant to be human-readable form. The latter gives the exact byte contents read_sha1_file() sees, which is a binary format. Essentially, it is a sequence of: - mode of the entry encoded in octal, without any leading '0' pad; - pathname component of the entry, terminated with NUL; - 20-byte SHA-1 object name. sorted in a particular order. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
