I think he inherited the "--sources" name from me. :) I agree it could be better. I think "--show-filename" is not right as there are non-filename cases. Just "--origin" sounds funny to me, perhaps because of git's normal use of the word "origin". I like "--show-origin" the best of the ones suggested. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
