Hm, are you trying to go in the direction where '--stdin-commits'
would keep erroring out on any non-full-hex-oid, but would accept and
silently ignore any hex oids that are not commits (perhaps even when
there is no such object, dunno)? I think that would support the use
cases you mentioned, while it would still save me when I do the 'echo
<ref>' thing (somehow I regularly do that, remember doing it the day
before yesterday!).
I only mentioned the ^{tree} form in the commit message for the sake
of completeness, i.e. to show various cases where the user would get
neither error nor commit-graph.
