Hi,

I tagged a new release of Scap (3.15.0) yesterday, which will hopefully be installed on the various servers next week. One of the changes is that "scap sync" now gives and error, and directs the user to use "scap sync-world" or "scap sync-file", depending on what they meant to do.

This change was made because Release Engineering had noticed that people accidentally run "scap sync" when they meant "scap sync-file". We decided to have a "flag day"[0] for this because merely warning about using "scap sync" is very easy to miss, especially if in an automated system somewhere. We also assume this is not actually used a lot, and mostly interactively, in which case the error message is hopefully clear enough to guide the user in the right direction.

We've fixed and are fixing places in scripts and CI jobs that we know of where "scap sync" is used. If you find more, please report them to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T250302 .

Sorry about any inconvenience.
