Subject: Problem: `fatal: too-short tree object` when executing hash-object on tree
Content-Type: text/plain
Precedence: bulk
List-ID: <git.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org

Problem: I'm trying to reproduce the identifier of a tree object using `git cat-file -p <tree object identifier> | git hash-object -t tree --stdin`

This results in an error:
`fatal: too-short tree object`

To replicate: 
`git cat-file -p HEAD`
`git cat-file -p <tree object identifier from output of above> | git hash-object -t tree --stdin`

This works for other object types but not trees. What am I doing wrong?
