Hi,

this small patch series introduces the new "drop" subcommand for
git-history(1). As a reader might guess, the command does exactly that:
given a commit, it will drop that commit from the commit history and
replay descendant branches on top of it.

Changes in v8:
  - Pass `RESOLVE_REF_READING` to make `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()`
    return a NULL pointer when it cannot resolve the reference.
  - Drop unneeded code that sets `head_target = "HEAD"` on detached
    HEAD.
  - Add a test case that verifies that we can drop commits with
    "--update-refs=head" and a detached HEAD.
  - Link to v7: https://patch.msgid.link/20260629-b4-pks-history-drop-v7-0-6e9392a957d8@pks.im

Except for the style nit in patch 6 (spurious space character), this
series looks good to me.

Thanks.
