The full release notes (https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.37.0/Documentation/RelNotes/2.37.0.txt https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.37.0/Documentation/RelNot...) offer this highlight:
"git -v" and "git -h" are now understood as "git --version" and "git --help".
I wonder how many bikes were shed before that implementation could happen.
- stolee 4y agoIf you are curious, then you can find the discussion starting at v2 here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220330190956.21447-1-garrit@slashdev.space/t/#u https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220330190956.21447-1-garrit@sl... This is a first time contributor getting a headlining feature at the top of the release notes!
- w-m 4y agoAh yes, thanks for linking that. So there was a discussion about a conflict with `--verbose` at least; whether to go for the upper case `-V` or completely drop the version flag from the patch. But then: "I do not care too deeply, and it is the most time efficient to just take the last patch as-is." Good lord, what a pragmatic maintainer! Burn them at the stakes!
