Maybe we should have written 'master^0..master' or 'blub..blah' where 'blah' points to the same commit as 'blub'.

The problem is that we need to be able to tell which _ref_ is uninteresting, not which _commit_, since one and the same commit can be referenced by an uninteresting and an interesting ref.

Hopefully you will excuse our being a little incoherent after a codathon, Dscho
