Sorry, but you need to be much more clear why this could be a good 
thing.

Maybe we should have written 'master^0..master' or 'blub..blah' where 
'blah' points to the same commit as 'blub'.

The problem is that we need to be able to tell which _ref_ is 
uninteresting, not which _commit_, since one and the same commit can be 
referenced by an uninteresting and an interesting ref.

Hopefully you will excuse our being a little incoherent after a codathon,
