It doesn't hurt to think about additional usecases, sure. But one of the things that I want to caution against is that we now create the next "grab bag" of unrelated features under a common name. After all, we are trying to fix exactly this state in git-rev-parse(1). So the intent of the command should be clearly defined to avoid this. Patrick
