I also think that would be the most sensible solution. A little experimentation with git-log reveals that it does not behave very well either. git log -n1asdf -> asdf is ignored git log -pn1 -> error git log -p1 -> error git log -1p -> p is ignored So I think this should instead behave just like you described above. git log -n1asdf -> error: unknown option(s) -asdf git log -pn1 -> git log -p -n1 git log -p1 -> git log -p -n1 git log -1p -> git log -p -n1 Clemens -- 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
