An unconstrained "verbose" that applies to anything would make people less careful to come up with more useful abstractions, e.g. test_line_count, which I view as a bigger problem. "verbose test", regardless of how it is spelled, either as two words "verbose test", a "verbose_test" helper, or a helper function that overrides "test", share the same issue, as their unconstrained-ness comes from the fact that test is too broad a command. I'd rather want to see us move more in the direction of encouraging things like test_line_count, which makes it easier to write new tests with less mistakes (e.g. by hiding the BSD wc pitfall "$(wc -l <file)", in test_line_count's case). -- 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
