Subject: [PATCH 1/6] add, update-index: fix --chmod argument help
Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2018 21:17:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2bc31a96-1d1a-3b71-59cc-47a3a2e29e16@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ad2d8f99-07a3-0191-88a2-c43081657988@web.de>

Don't translate the argument specification for --chmod; "+x" and "-x"
are the literal strings that the commands accept.

Separate alternatives using a pipe character instead of a slash, for
consistency.

Use the flag PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP to prevent parseopt from adding a
pair of angular brackets around the argument help string, as that would
wrongly indicate that users need to replace the literal strings with
some kind of value.
