NAME

git - check-files - Verify a list of files are up-to-date

SYNOPSIS

git-check-files <file>…

DESCRIPTION

Files that do not exist on the filesystem are considered up-to-date (whether or not they are in the cache).

Emits an error message on failure:

preparing to update existing file <file> not in cache
<file> exists but is not in the cache
preparing to update file <file> not uptodate in cache
<file> on disk is not up-to-date with the cache

Exits with a status code indicating success if all files are up-to-date.
