See Documentation/SubmittingPatches. It's clear that a short name would be helpful to you, but you may need to work harder to convince others that it makes sense to squat an a short option name like 'i'. One argument you might use in the commit message in support of adding a short name to --ignored is that the related option --untracked-files already has a short name (-u). > builtin/commit.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) This patch neglects to update the documentation for git-status in Documentation/git-status.txt. It will need to do so if this change is ever to be accepted.
