Julian Foad resolved SVN-4828. ------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed Closing as "fixed". Hiding deprecated options is not done; moving that to a separate, lower priority enhancement, issue SVN-4829. > svn help: hide experimental, deprecated, and global commands and options > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SVN-4828 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4828 > Project: Subversion > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: cmdline client > Affects Versions: trunk > Reporter: Julian Foad > Assignee: Julian Foad > Priority: Major > > Hide experimental features, by default: > - let 'svn help' omit experimental commands and options > - let 'svn help -v' include them > The idea is that users wanting a stable experience should not be distracted > by experimental features unless they choose to see them. > Further, I have been thinking for years we should hide by default: > - deprecated commands and options > - the "Global Options" section of "svn help <subcommand>" > The global options are sometimes useful, but really only for power users; > take up the last half a screenful of output; are shown even for commands > where they are irrelevant (all commands accept them but not all use them). > There are only a few deprecated options, so not such a big distraction, but > users don't need to see or learn or care about them at all, except in the > most extreme cases like debugging an old script that uses them. > I plan to hide these three categories by default. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.2#803003)
