Hi,
I'd like to propose a small change to arch (and to tla). Specifically,
I'd like to be able to call "=tagging-method" just "tagging-method".
My rationale is that revision control systems shouldn't hardcode a
preference about sorting order, and especially not for files that the
user is expected to edit. The other metacharacter prefixes that arch is
associated with (',', '+') have at least mostly useful meanings to
arch. '=' doesn't. Plus '=' is the metacharacter that my shell hates
the most.
This is implemented in patch-5 in my archive for tla:
address@hidden
tla
tla--lifeless-integration
tla--lifeless-integration--1.1
[...]
patch-5
accept tagging-method as well as =tagging-method
I also think the default should be changed to just "tagging-method", but
that'll come later.
Now, arch does hardcode = in a ton of other places, like in changesets,
but I'm much less concerned about that. I still think it's wacky, but
at least I don't have to constantly see it and deal with it.
