I agree, but when I found myself needing something like
`tg patch --index`, I've spot this in README:
--- a/README
+++ b/README
@@ -284,8 +284,9 @@ tg patch
tg patch will be able to automatically send the patches by mail
or save them to files. (TODO)
- TODO: tg patch -i to base at index instead of branch,
- -w for working tree
So I concluded -i/-w was planned from the beginning.
I myself would call these options --index and --work or something
like that, but I'll be ok with any option.
Thanks,
Kirill
