Hi,
This has been bothering me for a while: many commands accept detached
form (like "git commit -m message" instead of "git commit -mmessage"),
but others don't, in particular, git log options like
git log -S<string>
git log --grep=<string>
do not accept spaces.
This small patch serie is a very early RFC: it implements the feature
for just two options. There are at least 4 ways towards a real
implementations:
1) nobody except me likes the feature, drop the RFC.
2) Implement the same for other options. That's very repetitive (for
each option, there are two ifs: a prefixcmp and a strcmp), I don't
like it much.
3) Write a function or macro that accepts both variants, and use it
everywhere.
4) use parse-option for "git log" options and then get the feature for
free.
Hence my question: is there any reason why "git log" hasn't been
migrated to parse-option? Or is it only that nobody did it yet?
What do you think?
Thanks,
Matthieu Moy (2):
Allow "git log --grep foo" as synonym for "git log --grep=foo".
Allow "git log -S string" as synonym for "git log -Sstring".
