--refresh and --really-refresh accept flags (like -q) and modify an error indicator. It might make sense to make the error indicator global, but just pass the flags and a pointer to the error indicator in a struct instead. --cacheinfo wants 3 arguments. Use the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK extension to grab them and PARSE_OPT_NOARG to disallow the "sticked" --cacheinfo=foo form. (The resulting message $ git update-index --cacheinfo=foo error: option `cacheinfo' takes no value is unfortunately incorrect.) --assume-unchanged and --no-assume-unchanged probably should use the OPT_UYN feature; but use a callback for now so the existing MARK_FLAG and UNMARK_FLAG values can be used. --stdin and --index-info are still constrained to be the last argument (implemented using the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK extension). --unresolve and --again consume all arguments that come after them (also using OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK). The order of options matters. Each path on the command line is affected only by the options that come before it. A custom argument-parsing loop with parse_options_step() brings that about. In exchange for all the fuss, we get the usual perks: support for un-sticked options, better usage error messages, more useful -h output, and argument parsing code that should be easier to tweak in the future.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
