--refresh and --really-refresh accept flags (like -q) and modify
an error indicator. It might make sense to make the error
indicator global, but just pass the flags and a pointer to the error
indicator in a struct instead.
--cacheinfo wants 3 arguments. Use the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK
extension to grab them and PARSE_OPT_NOARG to disallow the "sticked"
--cacheinfo=foo form. (The resulting message
$ git update-index --cacheinfo=foo
error: option `cacheinfo' takes no value
is unfortunately incorrect.)
--assume-unchanged and --no-assume-unchanged probably should use the
OPT_UYN feature; but use a callback for now so the existing MARK_FLAG
and UNMARK_FLAG values can be used.
--stdin and --index-info are still constrained to be the last argument
(implemented using the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK extension).
--unresolve and --again consume all arguments that come after them
(also using OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK).
The order of options matters. Each path on the command line is
affected only by the options that come before it. A custom
argument-parsing loop with parse_options_step() brings that about.
In exchange for all the fuss, we get the usual perks: support for
un-sticked options, better usage error messages, more useful -h
output, and argument parsing code that should be easier to tweak
in the future.
