But the argument is not a <commit-ish>. git.txt says: A command that takes a <commit-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <commit> object but automatically dereferences <tag> objects that point at a <commit>. git-tag does not automatically dereference tag objects that point to a commit. So if you want to use "|", then it should be "<commit> | <object>". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
