*sigh*. Someone just ran into this today: $ git commit -a -ammend [work ce38944] mend 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) Omit one - and include an extra 'm', and instead of --amend you have -a -m mend. Which isn't exactly what you wanted. We do catch -amend with an error though: $ git commit -amend error: did you mean `--amend` (with two dashes ?) I wonder, should the -m flag on commit not allow cuddling its value against the switch when its combined in short form with other switches? -- Shawn. -- 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
