I certainly think this should go in, but it does make one deficiency painfully clear: the remaining shell scripts end up having all the old flags behaviour. So while you can combine flags for *most* programs, you still won't be able to say things like git clean -qdx just because that's still a shellscript, and doing any fancy argument parsing in shell is just painful. Is somebody still working on doing the shell->C conversion? Linus
