+# This git extension converts a chromium commit number to its git commit hash.
+# It accepts the following input formats:
+# 
+#   $ git crrev-parse Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#311769}
+#   $ git crrev-parse '    Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#311769}'
+#   $ git crrev-parse 'Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/master@{#311769}'
+#   $ git crrev-parse refs/heads/master@{#311769}
+#   
+# It also works for branches (assuming you have branches in your local
+# checkout):
+#   
+#   $ git crrev-parse refs/branch-heads/2278@{#2}
+#   
+# If you don't specify a branch, refs/heads/master is assumed:
+#   
+#   $ git crrev-parse @{#311769}
+#   $ git crrev-parse 311769
+
+# Developer note: this script makes heavy use of prefix/suffix/pattern
+# substitution for bash variables.  Refer to the "Parameter Expansion"
+# section of the man page for bash.

+while [ -n "$1" ]; do

+    commit_pos="$2"
+    shift
+  else
+    commit_pos="${1#*Cr-Commit-Position: }"
+  fi
+  ref="${commit_pos%@\{#*\}}"
+  if [ "$ref" = "$commit_pos" -o -z "$ref" ]; then

For some reason this does not work on my setup.

The error is:

fatal: ambiguous argument 'refs\/remotes\/origin/master': unknown revision or
path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

It is reproducible with just:

$ git crrev-parse -h

I was doing a gn roll (./tools/gn/bin/roll_gn.py) and as the script is making
use of crrev-parse, it was failing and blocking me.

I hacked the depot_tools and changed this line to remote_ref="origin/master" to
get it working.

Do you have any idea why is it failing for me?
