At some point it time it seems that the visudo command changed from invoking:
$EDITOR /etc/sudoers.tmp to invoking: $EDITOR -- /etc/sudoers.tmp This happened between 1.8.12 and 1.8.16. It now makes the assumption that all editors accept '--' as the option list terminator. Really quite annoying. This causes vile to output it's usage message. I know that this isn't a vile specific issue but I just want to check to see if anyone else has encountered this problem... specifically with visudo. If so I'll pump out a bug report against sudo since it should not assume that functionality. Is there a way currently to get vile to ignore a file named -- ? As a workaround I'll write a wrapper script to remove the -- from the args list.
