Subject: Handle "-" at beginning of filenames, part 3
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.9~91
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=694a764fc2af9463c2462ab1fc92b442fce1a54c;p=git.git

Handle "-" at beginning of filenames, part 3

This fixes the default built-in exec() of "diff" to add a "--" before the
filenames, so that if a filename starts with a "-", the diff program won't
think it's an option.
