 SYNOPSIS
 --------
-'git-mktree' [-z]
+'git mktree' [-z] [--missing] [--batch]
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-Reads standard input in non-recursive `ls-tree` output format,
-and creates a tree object.  The object name of the tree object
+Reads standard input in non-recursive `ls-tree` output format, and creates
+a tree object.  The order of the tree entries is normalised by mktree so
+pre-sorting the input is not required.  The object name of the tree object
 built is written to the standard output.

 -z::
        Read the NUL-terminated `ls-tree -z` output instead.
 
+--missing::
+       Allow missing objects.  The default behaviour (without this option)
+       is to verify that each tree entry's sha1 identifies an existing
+       object.  This option has no effect on the treatment of gitlink entries
+       (aka "submodules") which are always allowed to be missing.
+
+--batch::
+       Allow building of more than one tree object before exiting.  Each
+       tree is separated by as single blank line. The final new-line is
+       optional.  Note - if the '-z' option is used, lines are terminated
+       with NUL.
