The documentation for git rev-parse --flags currently states: Do not output non-flag parameters. Therefore, one might expect: $ git rev-parse --flags HEAD to produce no output. In fact, it outputs the sha1 hash of HEAD. Can anyone see a reason why git rev-parse --flags should not be modified to match the documentation? If there is agreement that this should change, I can re-roll my current rev-parse series to include such a change. jon. -- 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
