Comment (by guest):

 Note that {{{--info}}} was added in 6.8. I'm not sure what to do with
 older versions.

 Here's the commit in question:

 {{{
 Sun Aug 19 00:37:58 CEST 2007  Ian Lynagh 
   * Implement --info, and change how can_split is defined
   We now get the value of can_split from the SplitObjs setting in the
   build system, rather than working out whether it should be possible
   based on the platform.
 }}}
