I've not seen this syntax in git. Are you referring the the double and
triple dot notation git uses?  Can you give me an example of how git
uses -- as a list separator?

Typically -- on a command line means that's the end of the any special
switches and anything else, even if it looks like a command-line switch,
should not be parsed, and passed straight through as a normal parameter.
