It must have been ignorance on my side, but also the fact that something like =E2=80=98revparse-single=E2=80=99 has to guess what it is you=E2=80=99= re looking for (is this string a commit ID? a tag name? a branch name?), whereas here we can explicitly state what we want and thus reduce the search space and ambiguity. Does that make sense? Ludo=E2=80=99.
