Details:
Probably just a minor bug, thought I'd file it anyway. I just stumbled upon
the error that I couldn't cd oder ls in a directory named "- test -". Any
attempt with quotation marks or escaping the dash fails with:
~$ cd "- test -"
bash: cd: - : invalid option
cd: usage: cd [-L|-P] [dir]
However, if used with a path, it works ok:
~$ cd "./- test -"
~/- test -$
Is this intended? I know its a bit lazy leaving the path away, but it did
took me quite a while to figure it out.
btw, this is with coreutils 6.10 on ubuntu jaunty.
Sincerely,
Hendrick
