Once upon a time, "git rev-parse ref@{9999999}" did not
generate an error. Therefore when we got an invalid stash
reference in "stash apply", we could end up not noticing
until quite late. Commit b0f0ecd (detached-stash: work
around git rev-parse failure to detect bad log refs,
2010-08-21) handled this by checking for the "Log for stash
has only %d entries" warning on stderr when we validated the
ref.
A few days later, e6eedc3 (rev-parse: exit with non-zero
status if ref@{n} is not valid., 2010-08-24) fixed the
original issue. That made the extra stderr test superfluous,
but also introduced a new bug. Now the early call to:
git rev-parse --symbolic "$@"
fails, but we don't notice the exit code. Worse, its empty
output means we think the user didn't provide us a ref, and
we try to apply stash@{0}.
This patch checks the rev-parse exit code and fails early in
the revision parsing process. We can also get rid of the
stderr test; as a bonus, this means that "stash apply" can
now run under GIT_TRACE=1 properly.

GIT - the stupid content tracker

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
