rev-list: teach --no-object-names to enable piping
Allow easier parsing by cat-file by giving rev-list an option to print
only the OID of a non-commit object without any additional information.
This is a short-term shim; later on, rev-list should be taught how to
print the types of objects it finds in a format similar to cat-file's.
Before this commit, the output from rev-list needed to be massaged
before being piped to cat-file, like so:
git rev-list --objects HEAD | cut -f 1 -d ' ' |
git cat-file --batch-check
This was especially unexpected when dealing with root trees, as an
invisible whitespace exists at the end of the OID:
git rev-list --objects --filter=tree:1 --max-count=1 HEAD |
xargs -I% echo "AA%AA"
Now, it can be piped directly, as in the added test case:
git rev-list --objects --no-object-names HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check
