Hi list, Today I found what I thought was a bug in git status:
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/268333/42480833/ It seemed that the argument to -u was being ignored. It turns out that 'no' was not actually being considered an argument to -u in the first place. The documentation supports this: -u[<mode>], --untracked-files[=<mode>] Show untracked files. There is no space here, but it is not obvious that it is *important* that there is no space here. The usage string implies that -- is used to disambiguate path specs from option arguments git status [<options>...] [--] [<pathspec>...] Therefore I would argue that -u is behaving differently from other arguments (especially when considered across all git subcommands) by only accepting its argument when not separated by a space. This at least should be explicitly documented, but, preferably, should be consistent with other arguments and use the -- token as the separator. -Altreus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
