that are being passed to git, in this case a SHA1 that should be excluded
from the list of commits to process.
This is important where executing a git command using a reference (or
shortened SHA1) that matches a filename in the current tree.
For example, if executing:
git rev-list 2cba7890ef
If a file exists with the name "2cba7890ef", the git command will throw
an error about ambiguous arguments, because it cannot distinguish
whether "2cba7890ef" refers to the file or the commit object. Therefore
the following format is required to identify the commit:
git rev-list 2cba7890ef --
The '--' delimits that any following argument is a path, so git commands
are able to parse that a preceding argument that is not an option must
be a reference or git object identifier.
