and we could have unified options tables. I seem to recall some work
being done in this area early on in the parse-options history, but I
can't seem to find any mention of it in the list archive. Pierre, does
this ring a bell?

  Yes, I didn't had the time to finish that, I just started some ground
works in the diff options area, I hope I didn't lost that work, it's
probably somewhere on my public repository. Though revision parsing are
special because of --not, but I think the proper solution wrt --not and
--all in revision parsing is to ask parse-opt to "let" some options stay
as arguments, and do the final revision parsing with them kept.

  Like you may have noticed, I didn't have a lot of time for git
recently, and that's a shame :| But maybe your mail will beat me into
working on this again now that 1.5.4 is released, because I also feared
that reworking diff and revision parsing options will probably introduce
quite a few regressions, and it's rather better doing so at the
beginning of a release cycle :)
