The object type may be a blob, representing the contents of a file, oranother tree, representing the contents of a subdirectory. This allows Git to quickly determine the differencesbetween two related tree objects, since it can ignore any entries withidentical object names. Since treesand blobs, like all other objects, are named by the SHA-1 hash of theircontents, two trees have the same SHA-1 name if and only if theircontents (including, recursively, the contents of all subdirectories)are identical.
