--strict originally did more. r845498, in 1.0, shows that --strict originally stripped both the the path prefix and the newline. r872554, in 1.6, limited --strict to a single path at which point it just stripped newlines. > Given all that, I propose we deprecate --strict and conflate the actual > option value with --no-newline, like this (this is trunk, untested): That looks like a good solution. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
