Oh, I see. I was reading builtin-reflog.c, which, in both cmd_reflog_expire and cmd_reflog_delete, does check for -n as synonymous to --dry-run: if (!strcmp(arg, "--dry-run") || !strcmp(arg, "-n")) cb.dry_run = 1; but I missed that 'reflog show' aliases for git-log, and that that accepts -n. Patch withdrawn -- I'd send one documenting that -n works for delete and expire, but it'd probably just complicate the documentation more than clarify anything. - Nelson On Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 05:40:32AM -0400, Jeff King wrote: > On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 11:41:54PM -0400, Nelson Elhage wrote: > > > static const char reflog_expire_usage[] = > > -"git reflog (show|expire) [--verbose] [--dry-run] [--stale-fix] [--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>..."; > > +"git reflog (show|expire) [--verbose] [-n | --dry-run] [--stale-fix] [--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>..."; > > Really?
