Very nice. I worked on gitopt around summer of 2006 but never had the time to test it thoroughly. It was a _lot_ more intrusive than yours currently is (it touched the diff + revision family of commands). One feature I really like is automatically handling of long option abbreviations. gitopt supported this at the expense of complexity and the aforementioned intrusivenes. This allows automatic handling of the abbreviation style seen commonly in git shell scripts: --a|--am|--ame|--amen|--amend) (from git-commit.sh) -- Eric Wong - 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
