Especially confusing is the fact that it doesn't do whitespace-splitting, so you can't do: git config showbranch.default "--topo-order branch1 branch2" but instead have to set multiple config variables. I think deprecation makes sense, but I am in no hurry to get rid of it. I mainly just wouldn't want people to think it was a useful thing to learn. :) > The code is slightly nicer to, I think, but you can probably drop "+ 20" > in the grow-case now.
