Yes, that was definitely the other reason I didn't want to call it "--no-config". :) It's not always from a patch or commit. The most accurate along those lines is "--from-input". > Maybe --genuine ? But in the greater context I think that's vague again; we don't know which part of the command's operation is "genuine". Perhaps "--exact-input" hits all of those. Or maybe "--only-input" to match the other "--only". I think I like that last one the best. It makes it clear that we are looking just at the input, and not anything else. Which is exactly what the feature does. -Peff
