One I can think of that _may_ be a good idea to change from this version is to undo the HIDDEN thing, so that "git name-rev -h", without "git name-rev --help-all", will prominently say that "--stdin" is deprecated, and make it an hidden option sometime later, but that is not even "I think we should do so", but more like "if other people think it is a good idea, I would be supportive". Thanks.
