Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

$ brotli --version
brotli 1.0.7
As described in the help message, the -q option seems to do almost the same thing as the -# option. I know that compression levels 10 and 11 are not possible with the -# option.
The following compression programs use the -q option to make the program "quiet".
This prevents brotli from being a drop-in replacement for other compression programs.
@eustas commented on GitHub (Jul 17, 2019):
Unfortunately, it is too late. Removing
-qwill harm existing users.On the other side, it is not terribly difficult to write a wrapper script that would eat
-qand pass other parameters as is to brotli executable.
