Subject: [PATCH] branch,checkout: fix --track usage strings
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2022 12:49:46 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3de40324bea6a1dd9bca2654721471e3809e87d8.1642538935.git.steadmon@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <220111.86a6g3yqf9.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com>

As Ævar pointed out in [1], the use of PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP with a
list of allowed parameters is not recommended. Both git-branch and
git-checkout were changed in d311566 (branch: add flags and config to
inherit tracking, 2021-12-20) to use this discouraged combination for
their --track flags.

Fix this by removing PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP, and changing the arghelp
to simply be "mode". Users may discover allowed values in the manual
pages.
