The problem is that we are matching on two elements: key and value. The matching style of the key element is chosen by --get versus --get-regexp. However, the value_regex is selected implicitly by its presence, so there is no room to modify the flag in the same way. Perhaps --literal-value-match or just --literal-value would be a better name. -Peff -- 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
