As long as special options stay special and we make a rule not to allow any subcommand to assign its own meaning to them, the git wrapper can lookahead and reorder, when seeing a command line: git scripted-command --special into git --special scripted-command And that approach would work well for built-ins as well, I would imagine. There is one minor detail, though. There could be an option-parameter that is literally --special. E.g. git grep -e --no-paginate should not be reordered to git --no-paginate grep -e - 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
