From: Mark Lodato Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:52:56 GMT Subject: [PATCH/RFC 04/12] docs: use to mean unabbreviated ID Message-ID: <1268455984-19061-5-git-send-email-lodatom@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1268455984-19061-1-git-send-email-lodatom@gmail.com> There are some places that literally require a full, 40-character SHA-1 ID, rather than a generic revision specifier. Introduce in git(1) the terminology to mean this. Use in git-diff-tree(1) to note that --stdin only takes 's, not generic 's or 's.
