However I think those commands are similar only from an implementation point of view. As an user I think of them as being quite different. I would not be surprised about different meaning of options - certainly less than about "git commit -a" vs "git add -u". > So I am a little hesitant to endorse its use in "git status" for something > unrelated (and I am hesitant to have redundant command line options, as > well). Yes I understand that. I'm using a wrapper script for now, but if it was any other one-letter shortcut, I would prefer to learn that instead. bye, Martin
