>Description:
        The man page for the mv command doesn't mention the '--' option, that is
        necessary to move files beginning with a '-' (dash).

        I'm also submitted an identical pr for the rm command man page, which has
        the same problem, so you know.
>How-To-Repeat:
        PAGER=less; man mv
        then in less, search for '--'
>Fix:
        Mention the option ;)
