We should keep the discussion in the bug report so things don't get
lost. I added another comment there...

I don't really know what discussion went on before but it seems to me
that
if we're going to implement this "mode argument" just for cleaning
the repository then we should change most of the other arguments to be
consistent.
However then I see people typing things like "eclipse.exe -application
<mirror app> -source <source> -destination
<destination>
-mode clean -mode raw -more ignoreErrors -mode verbose (and so on)"
which seems a bit off.
That said, I could be completely misinformed. Would you happen to know
where I can read the previous discussion on binary arguments?
I have not seen any arguments against the -mode suggestion in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=254747#c19
As mentioned there, we have long since recognized the drawbacks of
binary
arguments and properties.
That is my vote.

I'm sorry to send this to the mailing list but this little problem has
had me stumped for a bit and I was hopping to get some input so we can
finally get it closed.
Right now I like "-cleanContent". I think it unmistakably says
that it's the content that will be removed and not the settings.
However,
due to our name convention of metadata repositories, is it confusing
for
users with respect to an artifact repository?
