From 4511d56e1a4c09abbe0c6b513fd858072b55cbd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 12 May 2025 12:03:06 -0700 Subject: you-still-use-that??: help deprecating commands for removal Commands slated for removal like "git pack-redundant" now require an explicit "--i-still-use-this" option to run. This is to discourage casual use and surface their pending deprecation to users. The warning message is long, so factor it into a helper function you_still_use_that() to simplify reuse by other commands. Also add a missing test to ensure this enforcement works for "pack-redundant".
