Setting this parameter to any value returns the objects or subtrees referenced by the tree specified in :tree_sha
. For example, setting recursive
to any of the following will enable returning objects or subtrees: 0
, 1
, "true"
, and "false"
. Omit this parameter to prevent recursively returning objects or subtrees.
Get a tree
Returns a single tree using the SHA1 value for that tree.
If truncated
is true
in the response then the number of items in the tree
array exceeded our maximum limit. If you need to fetch more items, use the non-recursive method of fetching trees, and fetch one sub-tree at a time.
