Description

See the following naïve dialog between me and mwscript:

$ mwscript eval.php
--wiki must be the first parameter.

Fatal error: --wiki must be the first parameter.
 in /home/wikipedia/common/multiversion/MWMultiVersion.php on line 356

$ mwscript aawiki eval.php
wikiversions.cdb has no version entry for `eval.php`.

Fatal error: wikiversions.cdb has no version entry for `eval.php`.
 in /home/wikipedia/common/multiversion/MWMultiVersion.php on line 356

The above is unexpected.

$ mwscript --wiki aawiki eval.php
The MediaWiki script file "/home/wikipedia/common/php-1.21wmf10/maintenance/--wiki" does not exist.

The above here is also unexpected.

$ mwscript eval.php --wiki aawiki
> echo $wgDBname;
aawiki

$ mwscript eval.php aawiki
> echo $wgDBname;
aawiki
