Yes. I just just copied the code to minimize the changes, but this is a
valid concern.

I wondered some of those things too, but opted for the minimal approach.

Your change seems good to me, however I prefer this to the case
statement:

  [[ "$1" == -* ]] && return 1

But doesn't seem to be too welcomed in git's bash style.

Looks like this would be prefered:

  if [[ "$1" == -* ]]; then
    return 1
  fi

I would prefer either one of those to the case statement.

But the other change is good. I'll include that as a separate patch on
the next version.

Cheers.
