From: jidanni@jidanni.org Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 02:38:40 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt: Clarify minimum length=4 Message-ID: <87r63pm5lb.fsf@jidanni.org> Here I merely repeat "The minimum length is 4." from another part of the page. However I do it in a critical spot, else users will think that there is just no dress code for how short one's strings can be. Proof: only the last line of: git init touch z git add z git cat-file -t e git cat-file -t e6 git cat-file -t e69 git cat-file -t e69d will finally output "blob".
