Re: gnulib-tool --help

    This is non unanimous; can you please notify the mailing list before
    such changes?

Sorry, I thought it was trivial and uncontroversial.  Obviously not.

    Can you please revert that patch?

Done I hope.

  1. Alphabetical order is the worst order, except in an index.
     Before, the options were listed in an order of decreasing importance.

Well, it seemed pretty much random to me.  

    What was your problem with the --help output originally? 

Originally, all I noticed was that the locution
  ... Directory relative --dir where ...
reads as bad English to me, and it should be (I think)
  ... Directory relative to --dir where ...

    section by use: General options; Options for --import; Operation Modifiers;
    Other Options.

Well, I think that would help, but I certainly don't insist.  No need to
spend more time debating this.  Do as you see fit.
