From: Yann Dirson Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:40:52 GMT Subject: [BUGLET] Short form of options with an optional parameter are not very clear Message-ID: <20130829114052.2e0ec810@chalon.bertin.fr> I just stumbled over the "git status -uno" form, and it took me some time to realize that "no" was a parameter to -u, rather than aggregated (and undocumented) -n and -o. Whereas the manpage does document the "-u[]" syntax, which dissipate the misunderstanding, --help output does not, listing "-u" in a way that appears not to take any option. Looks like the --help output would gain from having the optional parameter displayed in the short form... -- Yann Dirson - Bertin Technologies
