I'm not really sure which one is better but do prefer the "-v -v -v" way as it seems to be common practice in tools that support it. Also I don't want to make git cli different than most other cli tools. This does not mean that common practice is the best choice. I think allowing an integer param makes our cli worse and allows usage like --verbose=25. verbose=25 is not sane in my personal view. $ git pull --verbose # same as --verbose=1? $ git pull --verbose=42 # will do the right thing always by AI? $ git pull --verbose=0 # will do what? maybe quiet=1? I say let's keep it simple so that no one starts getting the idea that it's fine to have more than a handful occurrences of -v or -q. -- 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
