Yes, the option-parser accepts sticked form (-bbranch) and unsticked (-b branch). This is the convention with most Unix commands (try "grep -e foo" Vs "grep -efoo"). It gets more confusing for "git -amend" Vs "git --amend", which got a special-case to avoid confusion (strictly speaking, it should have been equivalent to "git commit -a -m end"). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
