A transition to make everybody to use subsubcommands (thereby changing what "git tag delete master" means) is impossible in practice. On the other hand, a transition to make everybody use command mode options (thereby allowing "git worktree list" to be also spelled as "git worktree --list") _is_ possible. Has anybody created a handy catalog of Git commands with subcommands and command mode options? If we see such a list and replace the column of subcommands with command mode options, we might find that such a "command mode option only" world a pleasant future for us to live in, or an unpleasant one that we have to keep typing two extra dashes all the time. I cannot tell offhand. -- 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
