Currently, the global options are displayed on many svn help topics, and that's an extra 16 lines at the end, which makes the actual help info that is sought scroll off the screen, and it's not information that always needed.
What do you think about moving the global options to their own help section and leaving just one line with a pointer to them? Proposed: Global options: Type svn help global for details Current: Global options: --username ARG : specify a username ARG --password ARG : specify a password ARG --no-auth-cache : do not cache authentication tokens --non-interactive : do no interactive prompting (default is to prompt only if standard input is a terminal device) --force-interactive : do interactive prompting even if standard input is not a terminal device --trust-server-cert : accept SSL server certificates from unknown certificate authorities without prompting (but only with '--non-interactive') --config-dir ARG : read user configuration files from directory ARG --config-option ARG : set user configuration option in the format: FILE:SECTION:OPTION=[VALUE] For example: servers:global:http-library=serf Gabriela -- Visit my Coding Diary: http://gabriela-gibson.blogspot.com/
