Subject: [PATCH v2] rev-list: skip --grep argument in early scan
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 18:24:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021172458.6373-1-azuama69@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021151253.3689-1-azuama69@gmail.com>

The early option scan in rev-list does not account for options
that take a separate argument. As a result, a pattern passed to
--grep can be mistaken for another option.

Skip the argument to --grep so that it is not interpreted as an
option during the early scan.
