Subject: Teach git-bundle to read revision arguments from stdin like git-rev-list.
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.0-rc0~90^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=22568f0a336ac37ae7329c917857b455839d1d09;p=git.git

Teach git-bundle to read revision arguments from stdin like git-rev-list.

This patch allows the caller to feed the revision parameters to git-bundle
from its standard input.  This way, a script do not have to worry about
limitation of the length of command line.

Documentation/git-bundle.txt says that git-bundle takes arguments acceptable
to git-rev-list.  Obviously some arguments that git-rev-list handles don't
make sense for git-bundle (e.g. --bisect) but --stdin is pretty reasonable.
