I find myself consistently bemused by the complex example in the --help
message of gnupload. I just want something I can cut and paste, and I
never upload to multiple targets, and I doubt many other projects do,
either.
Another question I end up re-deriving the answer for is whether alpha
and/or ftp want the "gnu" subdirectory (answer: neither do). So I think
an example for ftp.gnu.org is worth giving too.
Would you consider something like the following patch to the help msg?
Thanks,
karl
