Very nice syntax, somehow guessed that this is available, but didn't
try... my fault.
Perhaps we should reference git-rev-list(1) from git-diff(1), too?
This is just the standard syntax to name blob _anywhere_, so we should not
hide it in git-rev-list(1) but somewhere people would read before reading
any "technical manual" material, perhaps in the tutorial and git(1).

+1! A "how to specify files and revisions" tutorial with tips,
tricks and examples would be great.
Since it's much more powerful in git than in other SCMs, this is one
of the larger bits of things to learn.

Hello dear git list!
The following information was submitted to me by Frederik and is forwarded to
the list, because he's no mail access right now:

Using "git-svn dcommit", files or folders named ".svn" can be committed to the Subversion repository.
This breaks the SVN repo - e.g. "svn update" results in the following error:
svn: Failed to add directory '.svn': object of the same name already exists
Ideally, the SVN server would reject such a commit.
However, if I interpret the following issues correctly, Subversion doesn't want to handle this server-side:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1068
(also: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1065)
Since this is potentially a very critical issue, I suggest git-svn dcommit check and filter for such occurrences.
Alternatively, a prominent warning could be added to the relevant git-svn commands.
Details:
git version 1.5.4.3
svn version 1.4.6 (r28521)
Plattform: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
