Re: [PATCH] Make git-branch a builtin

Think of a future when you can shallowly clone near the tip of
git repository that does not have shell-script git-branch.sh
anymore.  You cannot expect to already have the preimage of the
patch in such a case.  You would still want to be able to revert
the change with "git apply -R".

Hmm, how is this argument not applying to binary diffs you can't revert
either?

Earlier you cannot, but because now you can, perhaps? ;-)
