Hmm.. does it mean we make --debug PARSE_OPT_OPTARG? In other words, "--debug" still means "text", --debug=json is obvious, but "--debug json" means "text" debug with pathspec "json". Which is really horrible in my opinion. Or is it ok to just make the argument mandatory? That would be a behavior change, but I suppose --debug is a thing only we use and could still be a safe thing to do... > though, in case we do want real stable json support later (though of > course we would be free to steal the option then, since we're making no > promises). > > -Peff -- Duy
