Yeah, usually I think it would be better to keep the positive and
negative forms together, but the way you have done it does seem a lot
more clear to me. I think it is because the default flips based on other
options. So you would be stuck writing something like:
-e, --edit::
Edit the commit message using `$EDITOR`. This is the default
unless the `-F`, `-m`, or `-C` options are used; in those
cases, `-e` or `--edit` can be used to invoke the editor.
Likewise, `--no-edit` can be used to suppress the editor when
using an existing commit message. For example, `git commit
--amend --no-edit` amends a commit without changing its commit
message.
Your split reads much better, IMHO.
Thanks.
