#216 Creating module branches is counterintuitive
Opened 6 years ago by msimacek. Modified 2 years ago

I needed to request a new branch "javapackages" in order to add a package into existing "javapackages-tools" module. And it created request for that. But to my surprise, it also created two requests I didn't want - for a module repo and branch.

I now noticed that it has a --no-auto-module switch, but I still find it very counterintuitive. The command is named request-branch, so I'd expect it to request a branch. Not request a module. I think that there should either be a spearate request-module command, or the behavior should be opt-in (--auto-module) not opt-out (--no-auto-module). This is especially confusing for people moving from fedrepo-req, which didn't do that AFAIK.


As modules get more established, and requesting a new branch for an existing module becomes more common, this seems more and more reasonable.
