The reservation I have about this is that I need to be able to tell the file/directory names from the tags/heads/SHA1 IDs. After the pass through git-rev-parse it's easy; I just take the things that match ^[a-f0-9]{40}$ as IDs and the rest as file/directory names or switches.

Junio, did you tell me some time ago about a flag to git-rev-parse that spits out just the file/directory names? What was it again?
