Useless git: "BUG: dashless options don't support arguments"

[tidefelt@…]

Using Mac OS 10.4 and powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 on a PowerPC machine, I have installed git 1.6.4.2. The program can be used with some sub-commands, such as

git remote update git commit

but there are problems with several commands that take additional arguments, for instance,

git push isy next

dies with

fatal: BUG: dashless options don't support arguments

which seem to come from parse-options.c.

As far as I can see, this makes the port useless, and not being a git developer I have no clue how to fix it.

Sounds like you should be on a git mailing list of some sort. No evidence that this is a MacPorts bug.
