Perhaps I'm missing something (it's been a long day), but couldn't "--" be used for both?

    git cmd --options -- rev -- pathspec

would be the fully specified revspec and pathspec

    git cmd --option -- rev --

would be just the revspec, excluding accidental options, without a pathspec

    git cmd --option revspec -- pathspec

and the single "--" would work as it currently does.
