you're right ... i'm just getting familiar with the whole
parse-options.h stuff, and confused OPT__VERBOSE with OPT__VERBOSITY:
#define OPT__VERBOSE(var, h) OPT_COUNTUP('v', "verbose", (var), (h))
#define OPT__QUIET(var, h) OPT_COUNTUP('q', "quiet", (var), (h))
#define OPT__VERBOSITY(var) \
{ OPTION_CALLBACK, 'v', "verbose", (var), NULL, N_("be more verbose"), \
PARSE_OPT_NOARG, &parse_opt_verbosity_cb, 0 }, \
{ OPTION_CALLBACK, 'q', "quiet", (var), NULL, N_("be more quiet"), \
PARSE_OPT_NOARG, &parse_opt_verbosity_cb, 0 }
so it should simply be corrected to:
git notes prune [-n] [-v]
sound about right?
