Hello there,
I've just started using rake. I really like it. Thanks!
Yesterday, I was wanting to pass in the name of an executable to run, so I did
rake --help
and didn't see a way to get it in. After a while, I saw in rake.rb
if arg =~ /^(\w+)=(.*)$/
ENV[$1] = $2
and then I knew how to do it.
I'm writing to say that it would have helped me if the usage message was a bit
different.
Here's a suggested change relative to the trunk
Index: lib/rake.rb
===================================================================
--- lib/rake.rb (revision 602)
+++ lib/rake.rb (working copy)

def usage
- puts "rake [-f rakefile] {options} targets..."
+ puts "Usage: rake [option ...] [{ VAR=VALUE | taskname } ...]"
end
# Display the rake command line help.
Thanks again,
Murray Bishop
