Turns out this syntax (foo/myfile.txt) works if you use -n but not if you use --name

🤷🏻‍♂️

@brandonh-msft Thanks for the feedback! I have assigned the issue to the content author to evaluate and update as appropriate.

@brandonh-msft I'm sorry but, I've just tested both -n and --name. Both work equally fine. Perhaps check your CLI version?

In any case, I feel you're right that the doc should make this guidance explicit. Thank you for pointing that out. I will create a backlog item to improve the doc.

@Adam-Smith-MSFT will you please shift this to doc-enhancement? Thanks in advance.

[roygara]

@brandonh-msft this has been integrated, thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

@roygara is it live? unfortunately I can't readily see a commit related to this issue (could be linked via commit comment, fyi) and am not seeing anything in the docs that calls this out for blobs (I see something for files though not sure if that's new). Commit history on the md file called out by automated creation of this Issue doesn't allude to anything new in this regard, either.

[roygara]

@brandonh-msft no, it'll be live by EoD. But I've made the change and it is in our build system, it'll go out in our publish later today.
