I didn't dig into that because it's orthogonal to this series, and it's not clear that anybody cares. builtin/remote-ext.c | 5 ++++- builtin/remote-fd.c | 5 ++++- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/remote-ext.c b/builtin/remote-ext.c index 11b48bfb4..bfb21ba7d 100644 --- a/builtin/remote-ext.c +++ b/builtin/remote-ext.c @@ -3,6 +3,9 @@ #include "run-command.h" #include "pkt-line.h" +static const char usage_msg[] = + "git remote-ext <remote> <url>"; + /* * URL syntax: * 'command [arg1 [arg2 [...]]]' Invoke command with given arguments. @@ -193,7 +196,7 @@ static int command_loop(const char *child) int cmd_remote_ext(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) { if (argc != 3) - die("Expected two arguments"); + usage(usage_msg); return command_loop(argv[2]); } diff --git a/builtin/remote-fd.c b/builtin/remote-fd.c index 08d7121b6..91dfe07e0 100644 --- a/builtin/remote-fd.c +++ b/builtin/remote-fd.c @@ -1,6 +1,9 @@ #include "builtin.h" #include "transport.h" +static const char usage_msg[] = + "git remote-fd <remote> <url>"; + /* * URL syntax: * 'fd::<inoutfd>[/<anything>]' Read/write socket pair @@ -57,7 +60,7 @@ int cmd_remote_fd(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) char *end; if (argc != 3) - die("Expected two arguments"); + usage(usage_msg); input_fd = (int)strtoul(argv[2], &end, 10); -- 2.13.0.613.g11c956365
