Git-basis is a perl script that remembers bases for use by git-bundle. Code from rev-parse was borrowed to allow git-bundle to handle --stdin.

As promised, here's another patch with documentation.  The code is
identical to the previous version.

I know this is a minor patch, but I think the result is a more usable git-bundle feature, and I'd like to see it included in future releases if there are no objections.

+git-basis(1)
+============
+
+NAME
+----
+git-basis - Track sets of references available on remote systems (bases)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-basis' <basis> [<basis>...]
+'git-basis' --update <basis> [<basis>...] < <object list or bundle>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Maintains lists of objects that are known to be accessible on remote
+computer systems that are not accessible by network.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+basis::
+       List of bases to operate on.  Any valid filename can be
+       the name of a basis.  Bases that do not exist are taken
+       to be empty.
+
+--update::
+       Tells git-basis to read a list of objects from stdin and
+       add them to each of the given bases.  git-basis produces
+       no output when this option is given.  Bases will be created
+       if necessary.
+
+object list or bundle::
+       Git-basis --update reads object names, one per line from stdin.
+       Leading caret ("^") characters are ignored, as is anything
+       after the object name.  Lines that don't begin with an object
+       name are ignored.  The output of linkgit:git-ls-remote[1] or a
+       bundle created by linkgit:git-bundle[1] are both suitable input.
+
+DISCUSSION
+----------
+git-basis is probably only useful with linkgit:git-bundle[1].
+
+To create a bundle that excludes all objects that are part of my-basis,
+use
+
+git-basis my-basis | git-bundle create my-bundle --all --stdin
+
+To add the objects in my-bundle to my-basis, use
+
+git-basis --update my-basis < my-bundle
+
+DETAILS
+-------
+Bases are stored as plain text files under .git/bases/.  One object
+entry per line.
+
+git-basis without --update reads all of the basis names given on the
+command line, and outputs the intersection of them to stdout, with each
+object prefixed by "^".
+
+git-basis --update reads object names from stdin, and adds all of the
+references to each of the bases listed.  Duplicate references will not
+be listed twice, but otherwise redundant information will be included.
+
+BUGS
+----
+Likely.
+
+Bug reports are welcome, and patches are encouraged.
