Hi,

Hm.  The manpage says:

	Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
	with the contents of the named file [...], and optionally writes
	the resulting object into the object database.

And then:

	-w
		Actually write the object into the object database.

Any ideas for making this clearer?

Thanks,
Jonathan
