Shouldn't there be a \r\n or generally some form of newline after \0 in the tree specification you quoted? After all, in all examples, the stuff that comes after \0 comes on the succeeding line.

| Jul 19, 2016 at 11:05 | comment | added | qbolec | @RossFeller could you point to some reference and explain what will go wrong otherwise? I was able to create two different tree objects which differ by the order of entries without any problems. | |

if you plan to pass this object to git hash-object -t tree --stdin be sure to omit the tree 192\0 header, as otherwise you'll get fatal: corrupt tree file

| Aug 12, 2015 at 17:59 | comment | added | Ross Feller | If you're interested in creating the git tree object manually from its contents, it's important to note that the [Entries having references to other trees and blobs] needs to be sorted alphabetically by [file/folder name] (aka path). | |

@AndyHayden It is a ZLib inflate if you want to decompress it, not a ZLib deflate (compress). I've managed to decompress entire repositories of Git objects but I'm not too sure whether the initial commit should reference a parent field.

| Nov 10, 2014 at 21:31 | comment | added | Andy Hayden | Could you post or describe your script to deflate these? (It seems to be different to other git objects, and not just a zlib deflate) | |
