Agree. I use this functionality a lot, and this change would break a
script I use to restore dangling commits. There's probably some
(dirty) way around it, but I'd prefer if the backwards compatibility
is retained.

BTW, the script I use is located at
<https://github.com/sunny256/utils/blob/master/git-dangling> and I
find it quite useful. Do you think it could be a contrib/ candidate?

Cheers,
