Is there any official documentation of tree objets format? Are tree objects encoded specially in some way? How can I parse the inflated contents of a tree object? We're suspecting that there is some kind of special format or encoding, because the command "git cat-file -p <sha>" show me the expected output, something like: 100644 blob 2beae51a0e14b3167fd7e81119972caef95779f4 .gitignore 100644 blob 7c817960e954f0278a6eee8d58611f61445167e8 LICENSE.txt 100644 blob 30e849cba985d74bfd29696f6dee5a40abaacb03 README ... While "git cat-file tree <sha>" generate an strange output, which indicate some kink of encoding problem. Something like: 100644 .gitignore+��▒����,��Wy�100644 LICENSE.txt|�y`�T�'�n��XaaDQg�100644 README0�I˩��K�) Thanks, -- Chico Sokol -- 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
