[PATCH 0/4] handling empty inputs in the revision machinery

[Jeff King <peff@peff.net>]

I noticed that:

  git log --tags=does-not-exist

will show all of HEAD, which is rather confusing. This fixes it, and
also hits several other cases that were marked as expect_failure for
rev-list. There is one case it doesn't handle: --stdin. It's not clear
to me what the right behavior is there. I'll follow up with more
discussion.

  [1/4]: t6018: flesh out empty input/output rev-list tests
  [2/4]: revision: add rev_input_given flag
  [3/4]: rev-list: don't show usage when we see empty ref patterns
  [4/4]: revision: do not fallback to default when rev_input_given is set
