git-write-tree(1) Manual Page

NAME

git - write-tree - Creates a tree from the current cache

SYNOPSIS

git-write-tree

DESCRIPTION

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".
