So I still don't get why Linus introduced the option. I'm looking at
bcc785f:builtin-push.c and AFAICT, the following are exactly
equivalent:
$ git push [options]... <repo>
$ git push [options]... --repo=<repo>
Which is why I sent the original message that has spawned this saga. :-)
Here's the abbreviated code in question:
const char *repo = "origin"; /* default repository */
for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
const char *arg = argv[i];
if (arg[0] != '-') {
repo = arg;
i++;
break;
}
if (!strncmp(arg, "--repo=", 7)) {
repo = arg+7;
continue;
}
}
set_refspecs(argv + i, argc - i);
return do_push(repo);
--repo can be placed anywhere on the command line, but other than
that, it's identical in effect to specifying the repo as the first
non-dashed argument.
Or am I completely blind?
