From 694a764fc2af9463c2462ab1fc92b442fce1a54c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 00:16:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
