+
+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".
