Johannes Schindelin 2c6e477195 [PATCH] Assorted documentation patches
[jc: Johannes spent time and effort to see how consistent our
use of terminilogy is, and as a byproduct made these corrections
not related to the terminology unification.  I really appreciate
it.]

git-write-tree(1)
=================
v0.1, May 2005
NAME
----
git-write-tree - Creates a tree object from the current cache
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-write-tree' [--missing-ok]
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".
OPTIONS
-------
--missing-ok::
Normally "git-write-tree" ensures that the objects referenced by the
directory exist in the object database. This option disables this check.
