Re: [PATCH] ls-files: make option parser keep argv[0]

The ls-files built-in was not asking the option parser to maintain

On Solaris, this was causing a segfault.  On glibc systems, printed
error messages didn't contain proper strings, but rather, "(null)":...

A trigger for this bug was: `git ls-files -i`

Patch looks good.

Just a thought, maybe we should change the fprintf(stderr,...) and
exit(1) call to a die() and replace the argv[0] with "ls-files" similar
to the die() on line 546. Then your diffstat becomes -1 instead of 0.
