You are almost correct, but you need to realize that I generate that long "case -s|--s|--so|--som|..." chain using a script that takes all potential option names as its arguments, and makes case arms that contain only unambiguous ones, so that I can handle --some-long-option and --some-other-long-option sensibly. Also you forgot to grok --some-option-with-args=* in your version ;-). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
