The message I get from that suggestion is that the most sensible approach, if we are going to add something from this discussion to "git diff", is to do what you did _not_ quote from my message, which is: As to --tree-vs-index counterproposal (was it a counterproposal?), except for that I think they are too long to type in practice and need to be shortened to be useful, I do not have a fundamental objection against it. IOW, this is about options, and should not be done as syntax sugar that does a half-baked job of pretending to be refs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
