Perhaps it is because it was added onto "git branch" which already had an existing syntax and meaning, but I have always seen it as "operating" on the new branch. There was some debate about this when "-m" came about (with respect to the order of arguments). So I think it is largely a matter of perception and mental model. > -u w/o --track/--no-track is a usage error. Then what is the point of "-u"? You said before that it was a new operation with room for future growth of additional options. Either it is _just_ for --track, in which case I think you are better to have a single option representing the notion of "update the tracking setup", or it isn't, in which case it needs to have room for future expansion. -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
