Maybe a better commit message is: -- >8 -- Subject: status: add --long output format option You can currently set the output format to --short or --porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it already. However, you may want to override an alias that uses "--short" to get back to the default. This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as "the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these conditions: 1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we currently default to turning on the porcelain mode. With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL termination with the long mode, but it does not support it. So we can just complain and die. 2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in when "--long" is given, too. -- 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
