Do not rely on it. hm, i frequently rely on tacking-on options after the fact, especially the -- ones. Just like the best workflow is append-mostly, command parameters are often added append-only as well, without jumping back and forth in the command line to edit the command. Path or brach names starting with '--' are weird anyway, so isnt this a reasonable expectation? I hope i'm not misunderstanding something here. Ingo
