After discssion on the early RFC, I decided that a migration to parse-option would be too much work given my git time budget and the expected benefits. I'm accomplishing the same goal with very simple macros, and one can now do e.g.

  git log -S foo
  git log --grep bar
Options with optional arguments do not accept this form.

To ease review, I'm splitting the serie into 4 batches of applications of the same pattern.

Matthieu Moy (4):
  Allow detached form (e.g. "-S foo" instead of "-Sfoo") for diff
    options
  Allow detached form for git diff --stat-name-width and --stat-width.
  Allow detached form (e.g. "git log --grep foo") in log options.
  Allow detached form for --glob, --branches, --tags and --remote.
