If I understand you correctly, you're saying that revision walking would need a different special case. This is the most obvious difference, it seems. "git show" would also need different special-casing. But rebase wouldn't need --root, diff-tree wouldn't need --root, any operations on an unborn branch would just work (incl reset, cherry-pick).

Again, this is hypothetical, so I'll stop the complaining now :-)
