It would have been nicer if it did not to imply --verify at all; a long hexdigit that do not name an existing object at all will be shortened to its prefix that still do not collide with an abbreviated object name of an existing object, and even in such a case, the command should not error out only because it was fed a non-existing object (of course, if "--verify" is given at the same time, its "one input that names existing object only" rule should also kick in). -- 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
