I > think Jiang's latest series is already way over-engineered, I didn't read the end of the series in detail, but I tend to agree with you. Maybe it's time to remember the YAGNI principle, and keep the number of options small at least for now (e.g. drop 11/12 git-clean: add toggle flags interactive action). When users (including us) will have used "git clean -i" for a while, we'll have a better idea of what is really needed. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
