If we were to shoot for clarity, Well, there is another flag state to be considered, of course, which is "no flag". So I think "--staged" is fine to mean the working tree and staged, as long as the default (i.e., no option given) is to operate on the working tree. I can't think offhand of any commands that violate that assumption. > how about --staged-only (aka --cached) vs --staged-and-unstaged (aka --index)? > > I am actually actively unhappy about the latter, but I like more > descriptive --staged-only for the former a lot better. Agreed. --staged-only is fine to me, but --staged-and-unstaged just seems too long. -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
