This was something I overlooked and it is fixed in 0.8.10 already, which
should be making its way to testing repos.

Thanks. I filed a bug report anyway.

Just a curiosity, what is the reason for the change?
mock is written in python, and it would have been simpler
to parse the arguments keeping the "--".

Another thing is that in version 0.7 I could open a mock shell
and check the installed rpms or install an rpm (rpm -ivh). If I try this
in version 0.8 I get an error. I know I can use mock install outside
the mock shell, but via shell should still work in my opinion.

Finally, how do I pass an argument for building via mock,

--define or --with something?

Thanks.
