Description:
mysqldiff doesn't allow to use minus "-" sign in password or username.
I'm providing a patch to fix this problem, but there are probably more signs

How to repeat:
mysqldiff --server1=user-u1:pass-p1@host

Suggested fix:
allow mysqldiff to use minus "-" sign
please see atached file for patch

Thank you for the bug report.

This issue has been fixed in release 1.2.2.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Utilities 1.2.2 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Connection strings would not accept usernames or passwords that contained
a hyphen ("-"). Using single or double quotes is now supported. For
example, passing in --server="user:'pass@:-chars'@localhost" as a connection string to a MySQL Utility is now valid.

Thank you for the bug report.
