  Hi, thanks to the tremendous help I received from Dscho to make its
API and internals even better, I believe that my parseopt branch is
ready for inclusion.
  There is only _one_ small backward incompatibility (if other ones,
then it's not done on purpose and should be fixed) in git-show-ref: it
had a -h short option, synonym of --head. I made this -H because -h is
automatically diverted to "show usage" now, and it's counter-intuitive
anyways. I rebased -i my series so that this patch comes last if people
think it's a bad idea, so that the rest can be still be merged.
  Note that patch 7/25 has a small discussion in it.
  The series comes in 2 parts: the parse-options construction, split
into small pieces to introduce each feature. And the migration of a few
builtins. Diffstats and shortlogs follow.
  The branch is available from git://git.madism.org/git.git in the topic
branch ph/parseopt. I just rebased it onto the last "next" spearce
produced.
  Thanks to Alex Riesen, Johannes Schindelin, Jonas Fonseca and Kristian
Høgsberg for their help, patches and advices.

  Alex Riesen (1):
      Rework make_usage to print the usage message immediately
  Johannes Schindelin (2):
