That is not quite correct. Check out 'git diff' for example - it takes
as position arguments zero, one, or two commit hashes followed by zero
or more pathnames. You can use '--' to separate these two lists,
because of course sometimes a pathname can be indistinguishable from
a commit hash.
Ah yes, I stand corrected, git diff indeed uses -- to separate two lists
(commits and paths).
