Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.For some reason the help text is "path: A space separated list of project names." in the drush help for devel-reinstall.
"project names: A space separated list of project names." is easier to understand. I attached a patch that makes that small change. It works on both D6,7, and 8.

salvisI believe it ought to be "space-separated" (with a hyphen), no?
Comment #3
moshe weitzman CreditAttribution: moshe weitzman commented@salvis - that does not look right to me. i think those are real, distinct words that need no hyphen.
Comment #4
salvisIsn't this a hyphenated compound adjective?
I find
"A space separated list of project names."
hard to read and awfully close to
"A space separated lists of project names."
which is something completely different (a full subject-verb-object sentence in past tense).
Read the two out loud until you feel the differences. Then compare it to
"A space-separated list of project names."
Disambiguating this early on is the purpose of the hyphen.

moshe weitzman CreditAttribution: moshe weitzman commentedWell, thats quite a thoughtful answer. You are also a master of clear English. Impressive. Sure, lets add the replace the space with a hyphen.

naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commentedYou are so right Salvis! I am not a native English speaker but I totally would have done the same had this been Danish. Nice catch!
