--repeat is not the default about pycodestyle HOT 6 CLOSED

When you do "cp dira/ dirb/", the -r switch is not the default, too.

IMHO, for the casual user which launch the command for the first time on a large folder, it is better not to clutter the screen with tons of messages.

For the regular user, the "-r" switch is not so difficult to type.

the lack of --repeat is quite distressing when actually fixing errors

it repeatedly sends me to different files in a random pattern based on whats actually shown

it just a lot of pain cause it thinks in terms of all files wrt what kinds of errors to show

+1. --repeat should be default.

@florentx the -r flag to cp does not stand for 'repeat', but rather 'recursive', and the two behaviours are not analogous.

I will consider adding switch --first in next release, and setting --repeat as default behaviour.

--first    show first occurrence of each error

+1 on --repeat being the default.

funny that I pushed version 0.7.0 three days ago, and it changed this behaviour.

this issue should be closed.
