From: Sverre Rabbelier Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:51:16 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] fast-import: add option command Message-ID: <1250182277-17762-2-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1250182277-17762-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com> This allows the frontend to specify any of the supported options as long as no non-option command has been given. This way the user does not have to include any frontend-specific options, but instead she can rely on the frontend to tell fast-import what it needs. Also factor out parsing of argv and have it execute when we reach the first non-option command, or after all commands have been read and no non-option command has been encountered. Signed-off-by: Sverre Rabbelier --- Squash of 2/4 and 3/4. Also moved argv parsing so that user options override stream options. Fixed typos.
