From: Sverre Rabbelier Date: Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:35:47 GMT Subject: [PATCH v7 5/6] fast-import: add option command Message-ID: <1252247748-14507-6-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1252247748-14507-5-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. Non-git options and unrecognised git options are ignored, although unrecognised options on the commandline still result in an error. Signed-off-by: Sverre Rabbelier --- Fixed a few style errors pointed out by Junio and ignore unrecognised git options.
