Hi All, is there a good reason why git fetch -vpnf works like git fetch -v -p -n -f and git commit -avem msg works like git commit -a -v -e -m msg etc etc, but git log -wWp says fatal: unrecognized argument: -wWp ? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Anatoly Borodin

Yes. The reason is that the arguments to git-log are passed to the revision.c parser, which predates our parse_options() infrastructure, and does not understand bundled options. It could be updated to use parse_options(), but nobody has done so yet. -Peff
