The normal way to check whether a certain revision resolves to a valid
commit is:
$ git rev-parse --verify $REV^0
Unfortunately, this does not work when $REV is of the type :/quuxery.
Is there a proper name for this style of revision specification? I've
been letting this 'style' wash over me in the hope that I'd understand
eventually, but it hasn't.
Loking at git-rev-parse I now see that it might be the 'Commit Message
Regex' rev specifier.
If re-rolled, can this elucidation be included in the commit message?
Write a helper to work around this limitation.
