From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@xxxxxxxxxxx> `has_dash_dash` unexpectedly takes `opts->accept_pathspec` into account. While this may sound clever at first sight, it becomes pretty hard to reason (and not be a victim) about code, especially in combination with `argc` here: if (!(argc == 1 && !has_dash_dash) && !(argc == 2 && has_dash_dash) && opts->accept_pathspec) recover_with_dwim = 0; Introduce a new non-obfuscated variable to reduce the amount of diffs in next patch. This should not change behavior in any way.
