Hi, I'm trying to figure out what a ``tree-ish''. I cannot seem to use many of the commands until I know. <tree-ish> Indicates a tree, commit or tag object name. A command that takes a <tree-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <tree> object but automatically dereferences <commit> and <tag> objects that point at a <tree>. I need a translation. :( Thank you. Regards, Bruce P.S. I have a SuSE installation with everything relating to GIT installed. The man pages reference commands like, "git-ls-tree --name-only" except that there isn't any such command. Unless you reverse engineer the implementation of "git", discover the /usr/lib/git directory and add it to your path. That hassle is rather inconvenient. More hints about where the git commands get squirreled away would be useful. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
