Now I'm confused.
In POSIX, the '--' would indicate merely that things following
the '--' are the same as things before it, but they're not to be
option-parsed.
In 'tla commit', the '--' separates the non-option parameters before
the '--' (a version to commit to, which I've never fully understood
the use for) and the non-option parameters after the '--' (files).
I'm of the view that the stuff before the (current) '--' (version)
could easily be made into a '-r' switch or similar (and would even
become more 'CVS compatible' by doing so).
But as far as I can tell, tla '--' and POSIX '--' are two very
different things, at least in the context of commit.
Am I missing something here?
p.s. Also, can anyone tell me useful scenarios with 'commit
<version>'? I think I actually used it once experimentally,
right after tagging off an old branch when I wanted to commit
one last thing to it.
