Thanks.

Why wasn't the rewritten directory underneath refs/?

“IEEE P1003.2 Draft 11.2 - September 1991”, page 277:

 Local variables within a function were considered and included in Draft
 9 (controlled by the special built-in local), but were removed because
 they do not fit the simple model developed for the scoping of functions
 and there was some opposition to adding yet another new special built-in
 from outside existing practice.  Implementations should reserve the
 identifier local (as well as typeset, as used in the KornShell) in case
 this local variable mechanism is adopted in a future version of POSIX.2.

… but I didn't found it in “IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition”.

“reset 18d077c~2” or “reset some-tag” or “reset my-branch~12”

I don't know. Using the special sign everywhere a mark is used looks more
consistent to me. The only case where it might be omitted is the mark
command, because it only uses marks.

That sounds useful.

BTW: Should the mark be a number or a string, e.g. 001 == 1 or 001 != 1?

That's fine. I thought it's a requirement.

Bye, Jörg.
