Git Introduces --end-of-options Flag for Safer Command Parsing
Git's new --end-of-options flag lets users explicitly mark the end of command options, preventing ambiguity when arguments start with dashes. This feature enhances script reliability and security by avoiding unintended option parsing. The change is part of Git's ongoing improvements to command-line interface robustness.
