New submission from Zooko O'Whielacronx <zo...@zooko.com>: This command:
python setup.py --verbose darcsver works as expected -- the presence of '--verbose' increases the verbosity of logging. This command: python setup.py darcsver --verbose does not increase the verbosity, nor does it tell me that the "--verbose" option is an option unknown to the "darcsver" command. This command: python setup.py darcsver --quux gives this helpful output: usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help error: option --quux not recognized I think that the middle command ("python setup.py darcsver --verbose") ought to behave either like the first command by increasing the verbosity, or like the last command by telling the user that "--verbose" is not a known option in that position.
