Sorry, but I suspect this is not 100% laziness; it is meant to read text that has object names sprinkled in and output text with object names substituted. I suspect that this was done to prevent a short string that may look like an object name like deadbabe from getting converted into an unrelated commit object name. -- 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
