This makes sense, and was something I was expecting to add once tag and branch both learned for-each-ref's sorting code. I don't think there will be any compatibility problems in adding it now, though; the ultimate interface will be the same (it will just know about more types of sorting). > +tag.sort:: > + This variable is used to control the sort ordering of tags when > + displayed via linkgit:git-tag[5].

You may prepend a "-" to > + reverse the sort ordering. Your link to git-tag[5] should be to git-tag[1], I think. The final number is the manpage section. I was going to complain that this is duplicating the sort documentation from git-tag, but I see you actually moved it from the --sort option to here, and refer back from there to here. I think I'd prefer it the other way around (and explain this as "behave as if --sort=<value> had been given"). As the sort options grow, it seems likely that we will grow a new section in the git-tag manpage (and eventually probably feed that content from an include that works for all of for-each-ref, branch, and tag). > +static char *configured_tag_sort; When dealing with a config option that also has a command-line version, we usually forgo this separate storage for the configured value. Instead, we just set "sort" directly from the config callback (which may require making it a global so the callback can access it), and then let the command-line parser overwrite it. -Peff -- 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
