I like the idea of taking paths from stdin (and especially if there is a
"-z" option). But using a pathspec that reads from stdin seems like it
creates a lot of corner cases. What would:
git rev-list --stdin -- ":(file)-"
do? It is kind of neat that you could read from multiple files (besides
stdin), but I'm not sure it is all that useful in practice (you can
always cat them to its stdin).
How about just adding --stdin, which matches other git commands?
