Subject: [PATCH] completion: don't treat '--' as an option called '-' with _arguments -s
Date: Thu,  8 May 2014 14:45:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399553141-5160-1-git-send-email-m0viefreak.cm@googlemail.com> (raw)

Assume the following:

  _foo() { _arguments -s '-a[opt]' '--[end of options]' }

Before this change:

  $ foo --<tab>

would complete to

  $ foo --a

which makes no sense. As a real-world example compare

  $ git diff --ca<tab>

It wrongly offers all the single letter options.

The reason is that the '--' is interpreted as a single letter
option called '-'. Then, with -s given, '-a' and '--' may be
combined to '-a-' or '--a'.

Instead, treat '--' specially and never consider it a single
letter option. This behavior then corresponds to the common
practice of 'end of options' and should be safe, since there
probably isn't any program in existence that actually
uses '--' as a single letter option called '-'.
