From: Tay Ray Chuan Date: Fri, 25 Dec 2009 17:12:02 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/4] clone: use --progress to mean -v Message-ID: <1261761126-5784-1-git-send-email-rctay89@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <18831.46833.862.196815@hungover.brentg.com> This series makes git-clone follow the "argument convention" of git-pack-objects, where the option --progress is used to force reporting of reporting. This was previously done with -v/--verbose. This in effect ensures a single consistent convention regarding progress reporting for git commands. Having two conventions may potentially confuse users. On a related note, Brent wrote a patch a while back [1]. This series is not as ambitious his and does not deal with the main git options. In fact, only the last patch effects the titular change. If a consensus is reached on this though, I don't rule out a separate patch/series to set the convention at the main git level. PS. If someone can enlighten me on the proper noun for the git executable (I said "main git"), I would be very thankful. PPS. Merry Christmas and happy holidays. :) Tay Ray Chuan (4): check stderr with isatty() instead of stdout when deciding to show progress git-clone.txt: reword description of progress behaviour clone: set transport->verbose when -v/--verbose is used clone: use --progress to force progress reporting Documentation/git-clone.txt | 12 +++++++++--- builtin-clone.c | 6 ++++++ t/t5702-clone-options.sh | 3 ++- transport-helper.c | 2 +- transport.c | 2 +- transport.h | 2 +- 6 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) Footnotes: [1] http://marc.info/?l=git&m=123415527432713 -- Cheers, Ray Chuan
