[PATCH] switch: rename --create to --new

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-c is used by `git branch` to copy a branch, it would be nice to copy
the same options for consistency.

Fortunately there's a pretty good alternative to create a new branch:
--new.

-c and --create are still supported, but deprecated.
