Subject: Confusing inconsistent option syntax
Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2018 21:07:47 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181202100747.GA5019@laptop> (raw)
`git log --pretty short` gives the error message "ambiguous argument
'short'". To get the expected result, you need to use `git log
--pretty=short`. However, `git log --since yesterday` and `git log
--since=yesterday` both work as expected.
When is an = needed? What is the reason for these inconsistencies?
