- Positional Arguments and Options: Order matters
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Borg only supports taking options (``-s`` and ``--progress`` in the example)
- to the left or right of all positional arguments (``repo::archive`` and ``path``
- in the example), but not in between them:
- ::
- borg create -s --progress archive path # good and preferred
- borg create archive path -s --progress # also works
- borg create -s archive path --progress # works, but ugly
- borg create archive -s --progress path # BAD
- This is due to a problem in the argparse module: https://bugs.python.org/issue15112
