Re: [Duplicity-talk] [PATCH] Added command line options to use different prefixes for manifest/sig/archive files

[edgar . soldin]

just a cosmetic but nonetheless an improvement request. we have a jungle of 
options already which grows kind of wildly .. the new options might fit in more 
structured when named like

--file-prefix-manifest
--file-prefix-...

as manifest and archive are written out words you might consider doing the same 
with signature.
