I now added -v|--verbose to all commands which already had -l|--detail. And v= or verbose= can now be used as alternative to detail= in URL parameters. Another small step towards better consistancy. The original options/parameters are retained, so this should not break any existing scripts.

Naming all of those -v|--verbose seems the best option. That sounds like a good idea. i'll get that patched. FYI: /json/stat now supports -v|--verbose as an alias for -f|--full, and supports the verbose boolean URL parameter as an alias for full. -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Re: [fossil-users] Rename --limit to --count and --test to --nochange
2013/4/19 Stefan Bellon sbel...@sbellon.de -n as short and --dry-run as long option seem like a good choice. Thanks for all valuable feedback! -n and --dry-run it is now. No existing scripts need to be rewritten because the original --nochange and --test is kept as well, even though it is no longer documented. I also added many short options like -a for --all and -c for --closed (JSON already had those) in places where it was missing. If there are other suggestions or remarks for command-line improvements, they are welcomed!
