Right. 99% of the time whether the '--' is there doesn't matter, but I like
putting it there always. You never know if a line of code won't get copied
to another script that passes user input as the repos_path argument...

I'm not suggesting we fix that throughout the entire script or the entire
tools/ dir, but I am saying it would be nice for new code (i.e., code added
in the patch or modified by it) to use '--' properly.
