[Bug 1006332] Re: lxc-ls fails if name of a container starts with '-'

[Serge Hallyn]

** Description changed:

+ ============== SRU Justification =============
+ Impact: lxc-ls fails when container names start with a dash ('-')
+ Development fix: when calling 'ls' from lxc-ls, specify -- before the container name to make clear that the next argument is a file name
+ Stable fix: same as Development fix.
+ Test case:
+ 	sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n -p2
+ 	sudo lxc-start -n -p2 -d
+ 	sudo lxc-ls
+ 	the lxc-ls will show ls error messages without the patch
+ Regression potential: none
+ 
+ ==============================================
+ 
  A script created a container which name starts with a '-' ( -lo-
  quantal-i386 in this case )
  
  Then calls to lxc-ls and lxc-list fail with:
  
  $ lxc-ls
  -lo-quantal-i386
  ls: invalid option -- '-'
  Try `ls --help' for more information.
