The option name, or the manpage? The current manpage was intended to clarify the issue; if it's not clear enough, please do suggest appropriate changes (probably, in a separate bug report). > IMHO it should continue working as usually, but throwing a warning to stderr > so scripts can be fixed. I'll bring it up on the list. Actually, it's not at all clear to me why -O was designed that way in the first place. Supposedly there is some value to using -O and -r, and piping the whole thing to something (but, of course, -O and -r together is also now disallowed). So it seems to me we now have something that's not particularly useful to either the "redirect" folks or the "rename" folks. I'll try and start up a discussion on it again on the list. - -- Micah J.
