Linus Torvalds f222abdeec Make 'git show' more useful 
For some reason, I ended up doing

	git show HEAD~5..

as an odd way of asking for a log. I realize I should just have used "git
log", but at the same time it does make perfect conceptual sense. After
all, you _could_ have done

	git show HEAD HEAD~1 HEAD~2 HEAD~3 HEAD~4

and saying "git show HEAD~5.." is pretty natural. It's not like "git show"
only ever showed a single commit (or other object) before either! So
conceptually, giving a commit range is a very sensible operation, even
though you'd traditionally have used "git log" for that.

However, doing that currently results in an error

	fatal: object ranges do not make sense when not walking revisions

which admittedly _also_ makes perfect sense - from an internal git
implementation standpoint in 'revision.c'.

However, I think that asking to show a range makes sense to a user, while
saying "object ranges no not make sense when not walking revisions" only
makes sense to a git developer.

So on the whole, of the two different "makes perfect sense" behaviors, I
think I originally picked the wrong one. And quite frankly, I don't really
see anybody actually _depending_ on that error case. So why not change it?

So rather than error out, just turn that non-walking error case into a
"silently turn on walking" instead.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
