Thanks for pointing out those issues, I think removing the command line input mode is the way to go. The description of the 'check_name()' mentions that the stdin mode was "primarily intended for testing". But as 85321a346b5 (submodule--helper: move "check-name" to a test-tool, 2022-09-01) pointed out, 'check_name()' was never used outside of tests anyway, so whatever use case was imagined for the command line mode never seemed to have existed. Combine that with the fact that the command line mode is so different from the stdin mode (non-zero exit code for invalid names, prints nothing vs. zero exit code, prints valid names), there don't seem to be any real downsides to removing the unused code. > > -Peff
