Bug 89331 – dev-util/tla - tla cacherev -H is not descriptive enough

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Clock 2005-04-16 09:30:39 UTC]

I would normally send the report to GNU Arch, but I tried to get bugerporting info
from these sources:
1) man tla
2) info tla
3) tla help
and didn't succeed.

"bash-2.05b$ tla cacherev -H
cache a full source tree in an archive
usage: tla cacherev [options] [revision]"

It is not said what the "revision" exactly is expected to be - especially,
if the -patch-1 is expected or even required.

I suggest a note about where "revision" is defined elsewhere was added to this printout (e. g. an URL).

Ehm, what ebuild does this belong to? Use package-category/package-name-x-y when filing bugs.
