The patch makes the four modes of running archive more explicit, adding three usage lines. Three empty lines are added -- they don't really increase the code's size. Handling --exec and --remote takes six lines; we didn't do that before at this place, but have to now, since we want them to show up in the usage. We have to handle --no-format and --no-prefix, which adds four lines. So I don't think the bigger size make this patch dubious, but of course I'm biased. Disallowing --no-format (using a new OPT_STRING_NONEG?) and adding an OPT__COMPRESSION helper might be a good idea (reducing line count in archive.c by seventeen). Having parse-options provide a way to make --exec and --remote appear in the usage but to reject them (OPT_UNKNOWN?) is a bit too strange, though. > All of the other patches made obvious sense to me and are queued for -rc1 > but I'd like to backburner this one. Fair enough.
