I have thought about "magic" refspecs before; my local git has an "EMPTY" refspec which points to the empty tree for diffing. However, that was trivial to implement (since it turns into a sha1), and yours is very hard (since you will have to pass these "pretend" objects around). So I think it is a neat idea, but I am not volunteering to work on it. :) -Peff -- 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
