Currently, unittest's discovery command-line documentation:

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.html#test-discovery

does not include the long option names (--start-directory, --pattern, and --top-level-directory):

http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/0f827775f7b7/Lib/unittest/main.py#l215

This issue is to add those.

[gennad]

Hi, here's the patch. Should I provide patches for other branches?

[cjerdonek]

Thanks, one patch should be fine, though the change should be applied to all branches.
