From f54573714429ce249bab7422a51f3a8c37016080 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2019 06:44:55 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tests: introduce --stress-jobs= The --stress option currently accepts an argument, but it is confusing to at least this user that the argument does not define the maximal number of stress iterations, but instead the number of jobs to run in parallel per stress iteration. Let's introduce a separate option for that, whose name makes it more obvious what it is about, and let --stress= error out with a helpful suggestion about the two options tha could possibly have been meant.
