git number doesn't work anymore with placeholder numbers about git-number HOT 3 OPEN

The invocation should be like this:

$ git number checkout 1

Anything that comes after -- are passed verbatim

from git-number.

That's not going to work. What if I'm trying to check out a file that has the same name as one of my branches?

"--" is now ambiguous in this case. It's accepted by both git-number and git-checkout as valid parameters. Basically I want to pass in the "--" literally to the git subcommand. So maybe you could choose a different symbol for your "literal passthrough" that doesn't clash with git's accepted version?

Maybe do this instead:

$ git number -s ++ -b

Which will allow me to do this:

$ git number checkout -- 1

And since you use ++, you won't parse out the -- and it will work the same as before.

You got a point there.

The option parsing code in git-number and git-id definitely need rework.
