I wonder what we would lose by dropping the --symbolic in the line I quoted above (which is the second parsing pass), so that it resolves to a SHA1. We would gain some robustness, as I'm not sure "$REV:" works correctly in the face of weird revision expressions like ":/foo". -- Thomas Rast tr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
