git diff --diff-filter=D --name-only HEAD@{'7 days ago'}

finds files deleted during the last 7 days, but if my repository is only 6 days old I get a fatal error.

fatal: bad object HEAD@{7 days ago}

Is there something that says "since repository creation", ie., go back as far as possible, but no further? Is there a symbolic name for the initial commit?

Cheers, Geoff Russell
