A question like this should be directed to the main Git list (git at vger.kernel.org, see [1]) which is dedicated to discussing of the Git development. But really let's just look at the problem: there's no single registry of object names which would facilitate their quick lookups. So full support of SHA-1 completions appears to be infeasible to implement. On the other hand, the completion function could run `git for-each-ref ...` and try to complete through the list of returned SHA-1 names of those references. That would only include SHA-1 names of all the branches, tags, notes etc but supposedly that would be okay for most practical uses. 1. http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#git -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
