Can't we have default=unset to omit the dict element instead of setting it
to None?
# fancyopts.py
unset = object()
# commands.py
unset = fancyopts.unset
diffopts = [
('g', 'git', unset, _('use git extended diff format')),
]
(none) => {}
--git => {'git': True}
--no-git => {'git': False}
I think it will avoid introducing the weirdness of tri-state booleans globally.
Many commands only need False/True. They are free to set default=True and
get False by --no-<opt>.
