Since I often use "TMP" as a name both for files and branches, I wasn't
that suprised recently when

	gitk TMP

complained that "TMP" was ambiguous and asked me to use -- to separate
filenames from revisions.  I was a bit more surprised when it still did
that after I gave it

	gitk TMP --

I looked through the source code very quickly but it wasn't obvious to
me why this was happening.  The reverse,

	gitk -- TMP

interestingly doesn't seem to have the same problem.
