[Gnu-arch-users] [BUG] tla dosen't handle '--' as end of option argument

[Yann Droneaud]

Severity: wishlist

tla doesn't accept '--' as the end of option argument,
so commands fails, such as 

 tla add -- file
 tla file-diff -- file

So, even if you modify the source regexp in tagging-method,
you can't work directly with files beginning by "-h", "-V", "-H"
... (but who do strange things like that ;)

As a workaround, './' or another leading path could be added in front
of the offending file name.

The '--' argument is specified by POSIX. 
getopt(3) recognize it, but tla, even if 'opt()' recognize it, doesn't
handle '--' as POSIX expect it.
