How about ${REV}^0 into nREV=$(git rev-parse "${REV}")^0 and use it where you need an object name that needs to be parsed by get_sha1(), e.g. git checkout -q "$nREV^0" I would suggest a helper function in git-sh-setup, something like: peel_committish () { case "$1" in :/*) peeltmp=$(git rev-parse --verify "$1") && git rev-parse --verify "$peeltmp^0" ;; *) git rev-parse --verify "$1^0" ;; esac } -- 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
