Problem with "dashless options"

Hi,

Yesterday I installed a fresh git (1.6.4.2) on my system using MacPorts. Some of the git sub-commands work fine (for instance, checkout, status, remote), while push gives an error as follows:

$ git push isy next fatal: BUG: dashless options don't support arguments

The same thing happens when I do
$ git push --repo=isy next

Since this seems to be a rather severe problem, I suppose it is that it is related to the old and perhaps unusual platform I am using. It is a PowerPC machine running Mac OS 10.4, with GCC powerpc-apple- darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 and MacPorts 1.8.0.

I'll be happy to provide additional information that might help.
Best regards,
Henrik Tidefelt
