I need someone to enlighten me again. Why do we need ":" for "no pathspec" when we can simply specify no pathspec for the same effect?Futureproofing. Currently "log" family defaults to "tree-wide" when there is no pathspec, but imagine what happens when a command like "log" that knows how to simplify history defaults to "current directory". You cannot override it by "git that-cmd :/", which would give it a single tree-wide pathspec, not "no pathspec". It will still cull empty commits.
OK, empty commits. I see. Will test it that way. -- Duy
