The strings in the the "usagestr" array have special handling for the
empty string dating back to f389c808b67 (Rework make_usage to print
the usage message immediately, 2007-10-14).
We'll prefix all strings after the first one with "or: ". Then if we
encountered a "" we'll emit all strings after that point verbatim
without any "or: " prefixing.
This gets rid of that special case, which was added in
f389c808b67 (Rework make_usage to print the usage message immediately,
2007-10-14). It was only used "blame" (the "credential-cache*" use of
it was removed in the preceding commit). Before this change we'd emit:
$ git blame -h
usage: git blame [<options>] [<rev-opts>] [<rev>] [--] <file>
<rev-opts> are documented in git-rev-list(1)
This changes that output to simply use "[<git-rev-list args>]" instead
of "[<rev-opts>]". This accomplishes the same, is more consistent as
"git bundle" and "git blame" use the same way of referring to these
options now.
The use of this in "blame" dated back to 5817da01434 (git-blame:
migrate to incremental parse-option [1/2], 2008-07-08), and the use in
"bundle" to 2e0afafebd8 (Add git-bundle: move objects and
references by archive, 2007-02-22).
Once we get rid of this special case we can also use usage_msg_opt()
to emit the error message we'd get on an invalid "-L <range>"
argument, which means we can get rid of the old-style "blame_usage"
variable.
It's possible that this change introduce breakage somewhere. We'd only
catch these cases at runtime, and the "git rev-parse --parseopt"
command is used by shellscripts, see bac199b7b17 (Update
git-sh-setup(1) to allow transparent use of git-rev-parse --parseopt,
2007-11-04). I've grepped the codebase for "OPTIONS_SPEC",
"char.*\*.*usage\[\]" etc. I'm fairly sure there no outstanding users
of this functionality.
