In git in general, yes --- for example, 'git diff --src-prefix="" HEAD^' tells "git diff" to leave off the usual c/ prefix in the src filename it prints. In git-svn, --trunk="" or --message="" might be meaningful, but not nearly as much as --prefix="". > If > that is the case, a better alternative might be to add an comment to > say that those with older Getopt::Long may have to use --option "" > instead of the --option="" form for any option whose value happens > to be an empty string to work around the command parser bug. Another possibility would be to require Perl 5.8.9 or newer. It was released in 2008. diff --git i/git-svn.perl w/git-svn.perl index 0a32372..ec7910d 100755 --- i/git-svn.perl +++ w/git-svn.perl @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ #!/usr/bin/perl # Copyright (C) 2006, Eric Wong <normalper...@yhbt.net> # License: GPL v2 or later -use 5.008; +use 5.008_009; use warnings; use strict; use vars qw/ $AUTHOR $VERSION -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
