        Used with <code>--buffer</code> to execute all preceding commands that were issued

<p>
        Instead of reading a list of objects on stdin, perform the
        requested batch operation on all objects in the repository and
        any alternate object stores (not just reachable objects).
        Requires <code>--batch</code> or <code>--batch-check</code> be specified. By default,
        the objects are visited in order sorted by their hashes; see
        also <code>--unordered</code> below. Objects are presented as-is, without
        respecting the "replace" mechanism of <a href="git-replace.html">git-replace(1)</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--buffer
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Normally batch output is flushed after each object is output, so
        that a process can interactively read and write from
        <code>cat-file</code>. With this option, the output uses normal stdio
        buffering; this is much more efficient when invoking
        <code>--batch-check</code> or <code>--batch-command</code> on a large number of objects.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--unordered
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        When <code>--batch-all-objects</code> is in use, visit objects in an
        order which may be more efficient for accessing the object
        contents than hash order. The exact details of the order are
        unspecified, but if you do not require a specific order, this
        should generally result in faster output, especially with
        <code>--batch</code>.  Note that <code>cat-file</code> will still show each object
        only once, even if it is stored multiple times in the
        repository.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--allow-unknown-type
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Allow <code>-s</code> or <code>-t</code> to query broken/corrupt objects of unknown type.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--follow-symlinks
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        With <code>--batch</code> or <code>--batch-check</code>, follow symlinks inside the
        repository when requesting objects with extended SHA-1
        expressions of the form tree-ish:path-in-tree.  Instead of
        providing output about the link itself, provide output about
        the linked-to object.  If a symlink points outside the
        tree-ish (e.g. a link to <code>/foo</code> or a root-level link to <code>../foo</code>),
        the portion of the link which is outside the tree will be
        printed.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This option does not (currently) work correctly when an object in the
index is specified (e.g. <code>:link</code> instead of <code>HEAD:link</code>) rather than
one in the tree.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This option cannot (currently) be used unless <code>--batch</code> or
