Re: What should "git submodule summary" give before an initial commit?

I think "git reset HEAD" _should_ fail, but on the other hand, "git reset"
and "git reset paths..." would be Ok before HEAD points at a commit.

Yes, that's what I came up with after sending my email, commands that
_default_ to HEAD as revision should instead default to an empty
commit when there is no HEAD yet. Perhaps something we can add to
parse_opt and then make sure that all commands we care about use that
feature?
