After the recent series of patches ^{tag} and ^{blob} now work to get just the tags and blobs, but ^{tree} will still list any tree-ish (commits, tags and trees). The previous behavior was added in ed1ca6025f ("peel_onion: disambiguate to favor tree-ish when we know we want a tree-ish", 2013-03-31). I may have missed some special-case but this makes more sense to me. Now "$sha1:" can be used as before to mean treeish: $ git rev-parse e8f2: error: short SHA1 e8f2 is ambiguous hint: The candidates are: hint: e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0 hint: e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name hint: e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src hint: e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries hint: e8f2093055 tree hint: e8f25a3a50 tree hint: e8f28d537c tree hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree [...] But ^{tree} shows just the trees, but would previously be equivalent to the above: $ git rev-parse e8f2^{tree} error: short SHA1 e8f2 is ambiguous hint: The candidates are: hint: e8f2093055 tree hint: e8f25a3a50 tree hint: e8f28d537c tree hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree [...] Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- sha1-name.c | 2 +- t/t1512-rev-parse-disambiguation.sh | 18 ++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/sha1-name.c b/sha1-name.c index 023f9471a8..b61c0558d9 100644 --- a/sha1-name.c +++ b/sha1-name.c @@ -970,7 +970,7 @@ static int peel_onion(const char *name, int len, struct object_id *oid, else if (expected_type == OBJ_TAG) lookup_flags |= GET_OID_TAG; else if (expected_type == OBJ_TREE) - lookup_flags |= GET_OID_TREEISH; + lookup_flags |= GET_OID_TREE; else if (expected_type == OBJ_BLOB) lookup_flags |= GET_OID_BLOB; diff --git a/t/t1512-rev-parse-disambiguation.sh b/t/t1512-rev-parse-disambiguation.sh index 9ce9cc3bc3..81076449a2 100755 --- a/t/t1512-rev-parse-disambiguation.sh +++ b/t/t1512-rev-parse-disambiguation.sh @@ -159,9 +159,13 @@ test_expect_failure 'two semi-ambiguous commit-ish' ' git log 0000000000...
