Subject: Differences between git show HEAD and git show head
Message-ID: <CACU07Yt5vh36tHcHxV-b_5MNLc-RzqGQ7=nkJq-DTqNgmYP+wA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

On Windows, when using multiple workspaces and git 2.19.0.windows.1,
'git show HEAD' and 'git show head' return different results when
executed from a secondary workspace (the one without the .git
directory).

'git show HEAD' shows the HEAD of the current workspace, while git
show head shows the HEAD of the main workspace (the one with the .git
directory). I find this to be highly misleading, especially for users
like myself who are not used to typing HEAD in all caps. Is this
indented behavior or a bug?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Nikola
