Subject: [PATCH 0/3] --end-of-options marker
Date: Tue, 6 Aug 2019 10:38:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190806143829.GA515@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)

It's hard for scripted uses of rev-list, etc, to avoid option injection
from untrusted arguments, because revision arguments must come before
any "--" separator. I.e.:

  git rev-list "$revision" -- "$path"

might mistake "$revision" for an option (with rev-list, that would make
it an error, but something like git-log would default to HEAD).

This series provides an alternative to "--" to stop option parsing
without indicating that further arguments are pathspecs.

  [1/3]: revision: allow --end-of-options to end option parsing
  [2/3]: parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--"
  [3/3]: gitcli: document --end-of-options
