Thanks, corrected this in the updated patch https://public-inbox.org/git/20180512091728.4931-3-luis.mars...@gmail.com/. > > - use Git.pm for repository and global option queries > > - add -g|--gpg command option & document it in command usage > > - test repository & command options > > - support unicode > > There are other changes that are not explained/justified here, I > think. > > - Instead of ALLCAPS as a placeholder for a command line argument in > the help text, use <placeholder>, because doing so is better due > to such and such reasons. > > I think it is good to consistently do so, but it is unclear why > ALLCAPS is bad and <placeholder> is better.

The original intent for this was semantics & accessibility: screenreaders more reliably interpret … than ... as ellipsis, and I imagine other assistive technology would, too. However, after research, I've learned there are better supported ways to go about it, so I'm retracting that change. The updated patch https://public-inbox.org/git/20180512091728.4931-3-luis.mars...@gmail.com/ should reflect all corrections. Thank you for the feedback, and please let me know of further issues.
