No -cc or --cc, please! -cc is not single option, it's -c -c in a line, and you will then have hard time to even describe -c. --cc would be a point of confusion as well, e.g., see "git log --cc". BTW, is it frequent enough operation to even demand something shorter than --copy? Thanks, -- Sergey Organov
