E.g. cg-help does not list them. > What if we join cg-commit-id, cg-parent-id and cg-tree-id into one cg-id > (or cg-admin-id) utility?

I'm not principially opposed to that, but I don't see much value in it either. Perhaps if this would come along with the usage of git-rev-parse (see below)... > Alternatively, this functionality should go to git. It's low-level > enough to be there. There is git-rev-parse, but it is not as powerful (cannot take dates and sha1 completion does not work when listing parents) - OTOH it can complete sha1 ids even inside packs, which is really useful. Still, IMHO its usage is awful, so it'd take place for cg-Xnormid, but we would still keep the *-id frontends (which would also handle the dates). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox
