This is not a bug, this is the way that POSIX option parsing works.
Backslashes are not the way to solve it, because it's not that `-` is
being interpreted as a special character, it's about the way that the
option parser works. See
The correct way is to do this:
cd -- --SMSBOOT-sources
Or:
cd ./--SMSBOOT-sources
