From 5c387428f10c27c24d3adb890cd466e2300518fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2019 17:05:25 +0700 Subject: parse-options: don't emit "ambiguous option" for aliases MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Change the option parsing machinery so that e.g. "clone --recurs ..." doesn't error out because "clone" understands both "--recursive" and "--recurse-submodules" to mean the same thing. Initially "clone" just understood --recursive until the --recurses-submodules alias was added in ccdd3da652 ("clone: Add the --recurse-submodules option as alias for --recursive", 2010-11-04). Since bb62e0a99f ("clone: teach --recurse-submodules to optionally take a pathspec", 2017-03-17) the longer form has been promoted to the default. But due to the way the options parsing machinery works this resulted in the rather absurd situation of: $ git clone --recurs [...] error: ambiguous option: recurs (could be --recursive or --recurse-submodules) Add OPT_ALIAS() to express this link between two or more options and use it in git-clone. Multiple aliases of an option could be written as OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias1", "original-name"), OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias2", "original-name"), ... The current implementation is not exactly optimal in this case. But we can optimize it when it becomes a problem. So far we don't even have two aliases of any option. A big chunk of code is actually from Junio C Hamano.
