Subject: [PATCH 2/2] describe: Exclude --all --match=PATTERN
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:31:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130225053152.GI5688@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu> (raw)

Currently when --all is passed, the effect of --match is only
to demote non-matching tags to be treated like non-tags.  This
is puzzling behavior and not consistent with the documentation,
especially with the suggested usage of avoiding information leaks.
The combination of --all and --match is an oxymoron anyway, so
just forbid it.

Signed-off-by: Greg Price <price@mit.edu>

This should be applied after the preceding patch; I mistakenly omitted
the '1/2' in its subject line.
