Yes, I think if we add such a "default to HEAD or empty tree" option to parse_opt we shouldn't just plug it in anywhere we default to HEAD. > But you are welcome to try and prove me wrong with a working patch ;-). Ah, I was hoping perhaps one of our still-in-hiding prospective gsoc students might feel up to the task, I am short on free time lately (I barely have enough time for Melange), the little git time I do have is spent on adding write support to git-remote-hg.
