--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.

When trying to fix up a corrupt repository, one might prefer that
"update-index -h" print an accurate usage message and exit rather
than reading the repository and complaining about the corruption.

The `<file>' argument is optional in both cases (the man pages are
already correct).

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
