I added an undocumented option --no-duplicates, just for emergency, that may be deleted in a future release of Etags. I also undocumented the existing --no-warn option. If anyone wants to comment on this change, please let me know. On a related issue, the Exuberant ctags standard for an extended Vi tags format is described at , and is currently implemented and supported at least by Vim. I am willing to implement it in Etags, when it is working in ctags mode. Again, if anyone wants to comment on this, please let me know.
