In a repository with a large number of refs, the following command line could easily overflow the command line size limitations git-rev-list $newref $(git-rev-parse --not --all) Fortunately, git-rev-list already has the means to cope with this situation with the --stdin switch git-rev-parse --not --all | git-rev-list --stdin $newref Which is exactly what this patch does.
