Hi,

here's a long-overdue update of my proposal from August 29:

  [RFC] revision: Don't let ^<rev> cancel out the default <rev>

Does this look more acceptable that my first shot?

Thanks,
Andreas

Some commands like 'log' default to HEAD if no other revisions are
specified on the command line or otherwise.  Currently, excludes
(^<rev>) cancel out that default, so when a command only excludes
revisions (e.g., 'git log ^origin/master'), it will produce no output.

With the --sticky-default option, the default becomes more "sticky" and
is no longer canceled out by excludes.

This is useful in wrappers that exclude certain revisions: for example,
a simple alias l='git log --sticky-default ^origin/master' will show the
revisions between origin/master and HEAD when invoked without arguments,
and 'l foo' will show the revisions between origin/master and foo.
