"The --recognize flag is to update the database for new files, without performing a rebase. The file names provided should have been rebased using the --oblivious flag just before." Recognize does not mean record or update in English but see, identify, or acknowledge. Your earlier suggestion of --record, the verb used in the comment quoted above --update, or CV's suggestion --merge-files would make sense and be more descriptive. I use such brief comments or descriptions as a guide to pick the most obvious names for functions, options, etc: if the comment or description then reads as if redundant, the choice is good. -- Take care.
