"git name-rev" is supposed to convert given object names into
strings that name the same objects based on refs, that can be fed to
"git rev-parse" to get the same object names back, so the output for
the commit object v1.8.3^0 (i.e. the commit tagged as v1.8.3)
$ git rev-parse v1.8.3 v1.8.3^0 | git name-rev --stdin
8af06057d0c31a24e8737ae846ac2e116e8bafb9
edca415256 (tags/v1.8.3^0)
has to have "^0" at the end, as "edca41" is a commit, not the tag
that references it. But we do not get anything for the tag object
(8af0605) itself.
This is because the command however did not bother to see if the
object is at the tip of some ref, and failed to convert a tag
object.
Teach it to show this instead:
$ git rev-parse v1.8.3 v1.8.3^0 | git name-rev --stdin
8af06057d0c31a24e8737ae846ac2e116e8bafb9 (tags/v1.8.3)
edca415256 (tags/v1.8.3^0)

When an user wants to filter specific ref using the --refs option,
the pattern needs to match the full ref, e.g. --refs=refs/tags/v1.*.
It'd be convenient to specify a subpath of ref pattern. For
example, --refs=origin/* can find refs/remotes/origin/master by
searching the pattern against its substrings in turn:
refs/remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/master
origin/master
If it finds a match in a subpath, unambigous part of the ref path will
be removed in the output.

Give each mode of operation (all, from stdin, given commits) its own usage
line to make it easier to see that they are mutually exclusive.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
