I have an idea.  Would it help to gather a list of all commit object
flags from the different files?  And then we would come up with unique
names?  And then move the definition of all of them to commit.h?

We already did that once, for a subset of the programs. Except we put them 
in revision.h instead ;)

And yes, we should probably do it for most of the rest.

Some of them (git-show-branch) have really special flags usage, and don't 
want to pollute their magic flags with anybody else at all, but most of 
the rest (fetch.c etc) have just a few flags and could in fact mostly 
re-use the standard ones.
