Description:
I'm using mysqldump with --no-data to generate a SQL file containing the schema of my database. My purpose is to generate a clean schema to be added to my source control system. However mysqldump adds autoincrement values to the schema, like this:

ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=312092 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

I think the current autoincrement value should not be included in a --no-data dump, since it makes no sense when you don't have any data to preserve.

How to repeat:
mysqldump -u[user] -p[pw] --no-data [database]

Suggested fix:
I suggest you either drop AUTO_INCREMENT information when --no-data is specified or add an option to explicitly drop it.
