Re: [PATCH] completion: Allow dash as the first character for __git_ps1

Yes, kind of.

It is more like PS1='\W$(__git_ps1 "-[ %s ]")'. And i am fixing it after each update on my machine. ;-)

If the argument for `__git_ps1` begins with a dash, `printf` tries to
interpret it as an option which results in an error message.
The problem is solved by adding '--' before the argument to tell
`printf` to not interpret the following argument as an option.
Adding '--' directly to the argument does not help because the

argument

quoted

is enclosed by double quotes.

Hmm, so you may be doing something like PS1='\W$(__git_ps1 "-%s")'?
OK, and thanks.
