[Monotone-devel] automate stdio, really

[Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker]

Hi,

I just looked at today's IRC log, and saw a discussion about making a
"automate commit" command.

Isn't this going a bit far?  Soon, we will have automate commands for
all "normal" commands if we continue like this.  Isn't that getting a
bit ridiculous, not to mention the risks involved, like having to
update the same command in two places all the time?

I dunno what the solution is.  Maybe have stdio work with non-automate
commands as well, and having all commands be able to output stdio-
specific data that would be more oriented for scripts, as well as
human readable output, all depending on how the command was called.

Cheers,
Richard
