It is a bad design taste to structure the command line argument in such a way that it takes git cmd xyzzy=frotz nitfol=rezrov some other args where these 'xyzzy', 'nitfol', etc. form an unbound set. It prevents future enhancements to the command from allowing anything that contain '=' in "some other args" part. Allowing not just '=' but also ':' makes it even worse. But these are issues in the design itself. Not the issue in the patch 17/17 that is trying to document the design. This patch under discussion documents the bad design correctly ;-) -- 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
