Subject: [PATCH] parse-options: always show arghelp when LITERAL_ARGHELP is set
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 10:00:59 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101130160059.GA31844@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4CF4B234.9060206@gmail.com>

The PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP flag allows a program to override the
usual "<argument> for mandatory, [argument] for optional" markup
in its help message.  Extend it by allowing the usual "no text for
disallowed" to be overridden, too (for options with PARSE_OPT_NOARG |
PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP, which was previously an unsupported
combination).

So now a person can impose ugly usage messages like

	--refresh [--] <pathspec>...
	                      don't add, only refresh the index

but more importantly, update-index can correctly advertise

	--cacheinfo <mode> <object> <path>
	                      add the specified entry to the index

without unsetting PARSE_OPT_NOARG and making that '--cacheinfo=<mode>'
'<object>' '<path>'.

Yes, that deserves a comment.

			PARSE_OPT_NOARG |	/* disallow sticky --cacheinfo=<mode> form */
			PARSE_OPT_NONEG | PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP,

That would just be a merge artifact, no? :)  Thanks for a pointer.

If all goes well, I'll reroll the series with your patch later today.
