 106 I wanted to explain why I wasn't using /dev/null, especially since\r
 107 that's what the Perl version used and that phrasing is preserved in\r
 108 the current comment:\r
 109 \r
 110   # magic hash for Git (git hash-object -t blob /dev/null)                 =\r
 111       =20\r
 112   _EMPTYBLOB =3D 'e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391'\r
 113 \r
 114 So how should I more clearly explain why I prefer stdin to /dev/null?\r
 115 Maybe =E2=80=9C=E2=80=A6 is more portable than the /dev/null path (which do=\r
 116 esn't exist\r
 117 on Windows, for example).=E2=80=9D?\r
 118 \r
