Perhaps we would need a weekly posting of topics people have Well, I've mentioned it earlier in this thread, though without a link. It's the time when several of us are off-line for a couple weeks. I've also mentioned it in the thread about filtering by remote. On a side note, the list here usually does require people to search back, and much longer than this, on frequently requested issues. But how does a newcomer discover "frequently"? Right, by searching back years, not months. > posted, found to be not quite ready yet, and are still being polished and > not abandoned [*1*]? > > Having said that, I still appreciate that you posted a link to the > previous topic: > > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/172226 > > so that the discussions in this thread to scratch the same "itch" can > benefit from the points raised in the previous thread that need to be > considered. > > The old thread talks about renaming existing options and transition plans > to make the "listing" mode of "branch" and "tag" more similar, which may > be a good plan in the longer term. > > I however can see that teaching "--glob" to both "branch" and "tag" (in > other words, "tag -l" would become a synonym for "tag --glob") an equally > good longer term plan. I don't care about the names, but I'd hate to introduce more inconsistencies. The implementation is a non-brainer, it's really something only Apple could get a patent on. The other Michael and I came up with basically the same patch because it follows "automatically". But the ui is important. So I'll take the opportunity and discuss this further in the cover letter for the upcoming series.
