So what's my objection, in short? It is just the wording "_the_ standard" that implies that anything that uses -n to mean something other than --dry-run is _wrong_.

It is used to defeat pre-commit hook and has been there with us for a long time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
