My yes/no was a short-hand for "yes" (and various other ways to
spell "true") and "no" (and various other ways to spell "false"). I
was NOT bikeshedding to say "I do not like true/false but favor
yes/no".
I actually was expecting a short discussion on sign vs signed,
though. As "tag --sign" is not "tag --signed" even though we call
the resulting object a "signed tag", "push --sign" may be a good
enough way to spell "signed push". I _think_ signed pushes are
recent enough that we still have time to deprecate --signed form,
but I do not think it is worth it.
So an updated suggestion would be that we'd take (this is a pretty
much exhaustive enumeration) these:
--no-signed
--signed
--signed=if-asked
--signed=yes/true/on/1/2...
--signed=no/false/off/0
We might want to throw in 'always' and 'never' as synonyms for
'true' and 'false', but again I do not think it is worth the
confusion factor, as 'always' and 'true' already mean different
things in some other contexts.
Thanks.
