From 62a604ba1c8f1ebcb135039ab04c9ca6c96b67f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 17:02:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Rename rev-parse --abbrev to --short. The usage of rev-parse to serve as a flag/option parser for git-whatchanged and other commands have serious limitation that the flags cannot be something that is supported by rev-parse itself, and it cannot worked around easily. Since this is rarely used "poor-man's describe", rename the option for now as an easier workaround.
