Hi Matthieu,

                   is there any reason why "git log" hasn't been
migrated to parse-option? Or is it only that nobody did it yet?

Please go ahead. :)

I started it in the past, but never went around to actually do it.

I started to get rid of most of the bitfields to use explicit or-ed
fields, but stopped at that, I don't even remember if those patches got
merged or not.

Why did you feel this change was needed / necessary?  Was it
limitation of parseopt?  Or perhaps it was for portability reasons?
Or was it just the matter of code elegance?
