Ok. However, this is documented as "equivalent to setting the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable". And gitnamespaces(7) says "GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace>", so that is still inconsistent. I also see this: Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/ So foo/bar isn't a file path. gitnamespaces(7) uses "path", "namespace" and "namespace path" sort of interchangeably. Even so, I think it could be a good idea to avoid "path" since it could give the wrong kind of ideas. I wonder if this patch should instead change both --namespace=<name> and --namespace=<path> to --namespace=<namespace> and give some motivation such as "Make the placeholder consistent with the gitnamespaces document." What do you think? Martin
