Yes. This is a rather widespread convention (e.g. rm -fr == rm -r -f). Git does a special-case for -amend to avoid confusion: $ git commit -amend error: did you mean `--amend` (with two dashes ?) But it did not special-case the double-typo. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
