@andrewnez@mastodon.social Oh, what a nice decision to repurpose the decades old `--` convention. Hmm, smart. not.😌

@andrewnez@mastodon.social TIL what -- actually does (outside of git) 👀 As in I had close enough intuition, which meant that I never bothered to look into the details

@andrewnez@mastodon.social ugh, I had known that `--` was used to separate refs from files, but it hadn't clicked that this usage makes the normal `--` usage not work. `--end-of-options` feels like a bad solution. oh well. nobody's going to want to spend the effort to fix the original sin
