This patch series is RFC as this contains a partial behavior change. The first patch introduces a new function to compare object id instead of revision strings. The second patch removes the special case for HEAD in builtin/checkout.c. This patch series enables for HEAD to be specified in any form and removes need to be kept a literal string 'HEAD'. Consequently, this removes the need to keep a special case for HEAD in callers of run_add_p() (as in builtin/checkout.c).
