"HEAD should resolve as a tag" is not sensible, but "HEAD should locally DWIM to something sensible" is still possible, no? We could for example make the rule for unset $3 case like this, instead of the current "missing $3 is a request to pull HEAD": If you have one and only one signed tag that happens to point at the commit sitting at HEAD, behave as if that tag was given as the third argument from the command line. Otherwise, if you are on a branch, behave as if that branch was given as the third argument from the command line. If you are not on any branch, error out. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
