Before the commit make_ctags did not do such a thing but we > never heard any complain like yours. Also I believe vi/vim users never > invoke make_etags (same thing can be said to emacs users). So why > should we bother? Indeed, it was my first use of make_etags (or make_ctags -e) and it was just for testing the patch. Similarly, someone who runs mistakenly this command might want this option. However, as you say, there've been no complain about this, so I don't feel it necessary so much. Maybe, users of this command would be able to remove tags by their selves easily. Regards, Yugo Nagata -- Yugo NAGATA <nag...@sraoss.co.jp>
