The word 'remove' is a synonym of 'delete', and nearly caused me a heart attack when I saw that it was apparently 'removing' the vast proportion of the input files (whereas the message meant that the vast proportion of input files were being removed from the files that are going to be further processed!)

  • I've changed the term from 'remove' to 'exclude' the idea of there being a 'list' of files for consideration is really an internal implementation detail and shouldn't need to be exposed to the user.
  • Even in the README, the word remove was also being used as a synonym for delete: "I can now remove the one I consider a duplicate by hand if I want to" the -removeidentinode option has been renamed to -excludeidentinode. Have left in support for previous option for backwards compatibility; hopefully I've done that right
  • I've changed the term from 'remove' to 'exclude' when referencing the candidate list
  • The -removeidentinode option has been renamed to -excludeidentinode. Have left in support for previous option for backwards compatibility; hopefully I've done that right
  • In the README, the word remove is preserved when it is used as a synonym for delete: "I can now remove the one I consider a duplicate by hand if I want to"
  • For future consideration: the idea of there being a 'list' of files for consideration is really an internal implementation detail and shouldn't need to be exposed to the user IMO

 - I've changed the term from 'remove' to 'exclude' when referencing the candidate list
 - The `-removeidentinode` option has been renamed to `-excludeidentinode`. Have left in support for previous option for backwards compatibility; hopefully I've done that right
 - In the README, the word remove is preserved when it is used as a synonym for delete: "I can now remove the one I consider a duplicate by hand if I want to"
 - For future consideration: the idea of there being a 'list' of files for consideration is really an internal implementation detail and shouldn't need to be exposed to the user IMO
