More predictable than /dev/stdin, which is usually a symlink to
/proc/self/fd/0 or /dev/fd/0, but the feature is not guaranteed to be
present.
This isn't *terribly* useful, but it can be. -x is recommended, but it
doesn't allow for ERB directives. This is mostly for hax.
On August 15, shuckins-r7 merged the Metasploit 4.10.0 branch
(staging/electro-release) into master. Rather than merging with
history, he squashed all history into two commits (see
149c3ecc63 and
82760bf5b3).
We want to preserve history (for things like git blame, git log, etc.).
So on August 22, we reverted the commits above (see
19ba7772f3).
This merge commit merges the staging/electro-release branch
(62b81d6814) into master
(48f0743d1b). It ensures that any changes
committed to master since the original squashed merge are retained.
As a side effect, you may see this merge commit in history/blame for the
time period between August 15 and August 22.
