Uwe,

Thanks for your explanation.

Does git-mktree normalize the sort order of the input or take it as it
is? I can see  a case for having it do normalization, if it doesn't
already and probably for this to be the default behaviour.

Also, I have a need for something like git-mktree that takes a
recursive git-lstree output as input.

Junio:  assuming these features don't exist already, are you open to
the idea of accepting patches that add them?

Regards,

jon.
