From 9cf68b27d50c29a0370bd61581d350b0b0a18e85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2021 13:47:06 +0200 Subject: rev-list: allow filtering of provided items When providing an object filter, it is currently impossible to also filter provided items. E.g. when executing `git rev-list HEAD` , the commit this reference points to will be treated as user-provided and is thus excluded from the filtering mechanism. This makes it harder than necessary to properly use the new `--filter=object:type` filter given that even if the user wants to only see blobs, he'll still see commits of provided references. Improve this by introducing a new `--filter-provided-objects` option to the git-rev-parse(1) command. If given, then all user-provided references will be subject to filtering.
