Yeah, that's the obvious "hack solution": special handling for refspecs of the kind :/text. Will write a patch for it soon (currently struggling to complete rebase.autostash). In the meantime, please queue this patch. I'm more interested in knowing what you think of my first point: is :/text fundamentally broken, as it can't be combined with other operators like the other rev specs can? If so, how do you think we should fix it? -- 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
