FWIW, I think the discussion above the scissors adds a lot to the context. It might be nice to add it to the commit message. I am slightly puzzled why parse_revision_opt does not just call handle_revision_pseudo_opt. According to f6aca0dc4, it is because pseudo-options need to be acted on in-order, as they affect things like subsequent "--not" options, etc. But if we are using parse_options_step, shouldn't we be handling the options in order? I am sure I am just missing something obvious, so do not trouble yourself if you do not know the answer offhand. -Peff -- 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
