You may be undermining your own argument for inclusion of a new --dissociate option by citing the aliased "recursive" option. git-clone's --recursive-submodules was added (see ccdd3da6) for disambiguation long after --recursive; and not the other way around with --recursive being more convenient or easier to remember or spell than --recursive-submodules. The implication of ccdd3da6 is that --recursive-submodules is favored over --recursive (and perhaps the latter may some day be deprecated). -- 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
