VCSLog and VCSDiff fail with 'ambiguous' filenames

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a file called 'config.yaml'
2. Check it into a git repository
3. Edit config.yaml in Vim
4. Use :VCSLog, or :VCSDiff (there might be other commands that fail that I
haven't tested)
5. You get this message:
VCSCommand:  Version control command failed:  fatal: ambiguous argument
'config.yaml': both rev
ision and filename  Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions
Press ENTER or type command to continue

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is to see the log or the diff.

I suspect that the reason is that the filename 'config.yaml' is ambiguous,
and git expects two dashes '--' after the command.

Perhaps two dashes should always be appended to the :VCSLog and :VCSDiff
commands for Git repositories?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.99.31

Ubuntu 9.10 in Gvim and terminal Vim

If I run 'git log config.yaml' from the command line, I get the same result as 
above.

If I run 'git log config.yaml --' from the command line, I get the expected 
output.
Same with 'git diff'
