Re: [PATCH gitk 0/4] gitk support for git log -L

Thomas Rast [off-list ref] writes:

Whether the option value is a separate argument in argv, or directly
stuck to the option.

stuck:   gitk -L:foo:main.c
unstuck: gitk -L :foo:main.c

Existing gitk chokes on 'gitk -S foo', but works with 'git -Sfoo'.

I somehow thought that we encourage the "stuck/sticked" form, to
reduce things the users need to remember to cope better with options
with optional value.
