I think 40 hex characters is special cased. Using CGit as a repository with a submodule so I can easily get an unrelated SHA1 and short name: cgit $ git show $(git -C git rev-parse @) fatal: bad object bb8577532add843833ebf8b5324f94f84cb71ca0 cgit $ git show $(git -C git rev-parse --short @) fatal: ambiguous argument 'bb85775': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' -- 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
