    git-rev-list: make --dense the default (and introduce "--sparse") · 7b34c2fa
    Linus Torvalds 提交于
    This actually does three things:
    
     - make "--dense" the default for git-rev-list. Since dense is a no-op if
       no filenames are given, this doesn't actually change any historical
       behaviour, but it's logically the right default (if we want to prune on
       filenames, do it fully. The sparse "merge-only" thing may be useful,
       but it's not what you'd normally expect)
    
     - make "git-rev-parse" show the default revision control before it shows
       any pathnames.
    
       This was a real bug, but nobody would ever have noticed, because
       the default thing tends to only make sense for git-rev-list, and
       git-rev-list didn't use to take pathnames.
    
     - it changes "git-rev-list" to match the other commands that take a mix
       of revisions and filenames - it no longer requires the "--" before
       filenames (although you still need to do it if a filename could be
       confused with a revision name, eg "gitk" in the git archive)
    
    This all just makes for much more pleasant and obvous usage. Just doing a
    
    	gitk t/
    
    does the obvious thing: it will show the history as it concerns the "t/"
    subdirectory.
