I think that cut-and-paste is what the OP would like to stop dealing with -- I, too, find it not very convenient to have to reach for the mouse to copy a SHA-1 name from a `git log` output which I, say, would like to run a rebasing operation on. Being able to tab-complete on SHA-1 names would require me just to memorize 2-3 leading digits from that name, type them and hit my completion key one or two times to be reassured I remembered correctly. Not that I desperately need a feature like this though... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
