[BUGLET] Short form of options with an optional parameter are not very clear

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I just stumbled over the "git status -uno" form, and it took me some
time to realize that "no" was a parameter to -u, rather than aggregated
(and undocumented) -n and -o.

Whereas the manpage does document the "-u[<mode>]" syntax, which dissipate
the misunderstanding, --help output does not, listing "-u" in a way that
appears not to take any option.

Looks like the --help output would gain from having the optional parameter
displayed in the short form...
