Hi,

What's the desired behavior? Then we can talk about how to implement it.
If the goal is "use parse-options for a command that has subcommands",
see builtin/notes.c.
Uses strcmp() to match argv[0]. And you can't specify the options for
a certain subcommand before the subcommand itself on the command-line,
although I don't consider this a serious limitation. I was going for
something prettier with subcommand-specific help text, albeit a
serious limitation. I'll try working towards this for a few more
hours to see if anything useful comes out of it -- otherwise, I'll
just drop this patch and focus on eliminating the ugliness in
builtin/revert.c around '--continue', '--quit' parsing.
That being said, do you see value in lifting the restriction on
opts->long_name and PARSE_OPTS_NODASH not allowed together? The
restriction seems quite arbitrary, but I can't justify lifting it
unless I can show some valid usecase.
Thanks.
