Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.4.53
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
If there is some commit that starts with dashes, git-dch calls dch like this:
dch <options> '--some message starting with dashes'
the message is interpreted by dch as an option, leading to failure to parse
command-line options.
Adding '--' argument before the message fixes this. Patch attached.
Thanks for considering,
dam
