Note the "shift" in the first arm? It is so that the code below > can check for $#, and it indeed does, in a 'case' statement. The case statement checks $# against 1 and *, not 1 and 0. And I don't see how > 1 is valid at that point. So I can modify the case statement to check against 1, 0, and have * emit usage, or I think moving the "test $# -gt 1 && usage" to where I suggested in the last message would do the trick. The only difference would be whether a pre-rebase hook runs in the case of invalid arguments (the case statement is after that hook runs). j. -- 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
