Add git-name-rev git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller. With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags. With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-name-rev' [--tags] ( --all | --stdin | <commitish>... )
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any
format parsable by git-rev-parse.
OPTIONS
-------
--tags::
Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits
--all::
List all commits reachable from all refs
--stdin::
Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able
commits, and pass to stdout
EXAMPLE
-------
Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody
wrote you about that phantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a.
Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but
not the context.
Enter git-name-rev:
------------
% git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
Several trivial documentation touch ups. Move incorrect asciidoc level 2 titles back to level 1. Show output of git-name-rev in man page example. Reword sentences that begin with a period (.) in asciidoc numbered lists to work around conversion to man page bug. Mention that git-repack now calls git-prune-packed when the -d option is passed to it. [imap] section headers in the config file example need to be contained in a literal block. imap.pass is the proper config file variable to use, not imap.password.

------------
Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99.
Another nice thing you can do is:
------------
% git log | git name-rev --stdin
