This is a Gittensor contribution. Previously, passing JVM options like -Xmx1G directly on the command line would result in an error: sbt -v -Xmx1G [error] Expected ';' [error] -Xmx1G [error] ^ This was because -X options were being passed to sbt as commands instead of being recognized as JVM arguments. Changes: - Added handling for -X options in sbt.bat to pass them to the JVM - Updated help text to document this feature - Added integration tests for the new functionality
