command line argument --shortlist not working

[bitprophet]

Description

I installed fabric using the 1.2.0 tag from the github repo on ubuntu 10.04. fab --shortlist gives the usage output instead of the short task list. The long version (fab -F short --list) works as expected. I looked at the source but don't see why it's misbehaving.

% fab --version
Fabric 1.2.0

% fab -F short --list
deploy
development
production
...

% fab --shortlist
Usage: fab [options] <command>[:arg1,arg2=val2,host=foo,hosts='h1;h2',...] ...
Options:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-V, --version         show program's version number and exit
-l, --list            print list of possible commands and exit
...

This is broken for me as well and the pull link above doesn't work.

Yea, just noticed that they never actually posted a link to their repo/branch, and the username from Redmine may not truly match Github, as the GH @ori account has no Fab repo. (Or any repos.)

Anyway, yes, it's a known regression and I will be fixing it for the next bugfix release.

EDIT: N.B. seems to have broken in 1.1.
