I like this series a lot. I often forget what our revision behavior is
and whether it's documented in git-rev-list, git-rev-parse or
something else. Then when I finally find it in git-rev-parse I have to
page down the manpage to discover it.

This is definitely something that should be standalone in
gitrevisions(7).
