Re: [PATCH] pull: add angle brackets to usage string

Alex Henrie [off-list ref] writes:

I pushed to change [options] to [<options>] because even if the angle
brackets don't help new users or translators in this particular case,
the angle brackets encourage Git authors to use angle brackets when
writing commands that are not so easy to understand. If you think that
[<option>...] is better because it is even more consistent, I would be
happy to send a patch to make that change.

I do agree that [<option>...] would make things consistent between
options and non-option arguments.  But I also would expect that
reasonably intelligent readers know that options are special, and
they would understand that [options] and [<options>] mean the same
thing as [<option>...] anyway, so I do not feel too strongly either
way myself (meaning: I wouldn't be motivated to prepare patches for
it myself, I wouldn't jump up and down saying they are wrong and
revert them if such patches were applied by an interim maintainer
while I am on vacation, and I would apply such patches myself only
if they do not overly interfere with topics in flight while
merging).

Thanks.
