In 73c3253d75e (bundle: framework for options before bundle file, 2019-11-10) the "git bundle" command was refactored to use parse_options(). In that refactoring it started understanding the "--verbose" flag before the subcommand, e.g.: git bundle --verbose verify --quiet However, nothing ever did anything with this "verbose" variable, and the change wasn't documented. It appears to have been something that escaped the lab, and wasn't flagged by reviewers at the time. Let's just remove it. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- As a follow-up to the discussion at https://lore.kernel.org/git/87zgs593ja.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ I looked at whether any other subcommands accepted "git cmd [opts] subcommand", here's another special-case we can safely remove. Perhaps this was from an earlier version of https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191110204126.30553-1-robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx/, but I could not find v1 and v2. builtin/bundle.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/bundle.c b/builtin/bundle.c index 91975def2da..5a85d7cd0fe 100644 --- a/builtin/bundle.c +++ b/builtin/bundle.c @@ -39,8 +39,6 @@ static const char * const builtin_bundle_unbundle_usage[] = { NULL }; -static int verbose; - static int parse_options_cmd_bundle(int argc, const char **argv, const char* prefix, @@ -197,7 +195,6 @@ static int cmd_bundle_unbundle(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) int cmd_bundle(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) { struct option options[] = { - OPT__VERBOSE(&verbose, N_("be verbose; must be placed before a subcommand")), OPT_END() }; int result; -- 2.33.0.1229.g7e7cef8c419
