We'd usually check those during fsck but I don't know of any specific command to print them. I'd usually do something like: fn=.git/index size=$(stat --format=%s $fn) # offset of hash; use 32 in a sha256 repo! hash=$((size - 20)) # the computed hash dd if=$fn bs=1 count=$hash | sha1sum # what the file records dd if=$fn bs=1 skip=$hash | od -A none -t x1 | tr -d ' \n' Which admittedly is kind of horrible, but this isn't generally needed much outside of debugging. -Peff
