I have an updated version to handle the simplest forms of range
notations on 'pu' as d40f108d ("-" and "@{-1}" on various programs,
2015-03-16). I do not think either your !strstr(arg, "..") or my
!starts_with(arg + 1, "..") is correct, if we really wanted to make
"-" a true stand-in for @{-1}, as we would need to stop ourselves
fall into this "This begins with a dash, so it has to be a dashed
option" block when things like these are given:
"-^"
"-~10"
"-^{/^### match next}"
I have a suspicion that it might be a matter of swapping the if
clauses, that is, instead of the current way
if (starts with '-') {
do the option thing;
continue;
}
if (try to see if it is a revision or revision range) {
/* if failed, args must be pathspecs from here on */
check the '--' disambiguation;
add pathspec to prune-data;
} else {
got_rev_arg = 1;
}
which tries "the option thing" first, do something like this:
if (try to see if it is a revision or regvision range) {
/* if failed ... */
if (starts with '-') {
do the option thing;
continue;
}
/* args must be pathspecs from here on */
check the '--' disambiguation;
add pathspec to prune-data;
} else {
got_rev_arg = 1;
}
but I didn't trace the logic myself to see if that would work.
