How would you do the equivalent of git pull -s recursive -Xsubtree="My Playpen/" -Xours with the syntax? Note that the current scripted "pull" and "merge" has a limitation that it does not allow $IFS in -X<option> but that is not a designed-in limitation but purely comes from a lazy implementation . Also I do not see why -X<option> is not easy with parseopt() as Dscho claimed in the original message in this thread... -- 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
