One reason is that I often don't know if the program I want to run (git or something sles) uses -v as the "verbose" flag, or if it's the "version" flag or something else. But if there is a --verbose flag, I can be sure what it is, so I often try that first if I'm unsure. If that faild, I'll probably look in the man page. -- David Kågedal - 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
