That would also be consistent with "git notes prune -h": > > $ git notes prune -h > usage: git notes prune [<options>] > > -n, --dry-run do not remove, show only > -v, --verbose report pruned notes you're right ... i'm just getting familiar with the whole parse-options.h stuff, and confused OPT__VERBOSE with OPT__VERBOSITY: #define OPT__VERBOSE(var, h) OPT_COUNTUP('v', "verbose", (var), (h)) #define OPT__QUIET(var, h) OPT_COUNTUP('q', "quiet", (var), (h)) #define OPT__VERBOSITY(var) \ { OPTION_CALLBACK, 'v', "verbose", (var), NULL, N_("be more verbose"), \ PARSE_OPT_NOARG, &parse_opt_verbosity_cb, 0 }, \ { OPTION_CALLBACK, 'q', "quiet", (var), NULL, N_("be more quiet"), \ PARSE_OPT_NOARG, &parse_opt_verbosity_cb, 0 } so it should simply be corrected to: git notes prune [-n] [-v] sound about right? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
