| Comment: | cli: honour a bare -- as end of options in every verb
A file whose name begins with '-' could not be named at all: passed bare it parses as a flag, and './-x.txt' parses and then matches nothing, because a path is compared literally against the check-in's file list. A forge serving such a repository answered 500 for every content route on that file. Twenty parsers already honoured the marker, including the shared flag scanner behind add, rm, commit and mv; the twenty-five with hand-written loops did not, cat among them. Each now gates its flag branches behind the marker, so operands fall through to the positional handling untouched and '-n' after '--' is a name rather than a limit. Documented as its own help topic rather than an options row in thirty-nine verbs: '--' is not a verb's option, it is the rule every verb parses by. |

zip: flag member names as UTF-8 in both headers
The name bytes were always correct UTF-8 and general-purpose bit 11 was never set, so a conforming reader must decode them as CP437 and a committed 'café.txt' extracted as 'caf├⌐.txt'. Both headers now take the flag from one constant: a reader trusts the central directory for metadata, so setting it on the local header alone would still ship the bug. Set unconditionally, since ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 and one value cannot disagree with itself. Content and the data-descriptor bit are unchanged. check-in: 3caf366005 user: dmestas tags: trunk | |
