OK, I've chewed down some version of this series.  ;-)

To be more specific I fetched ph/parseopt (11b83dc4da) from your tree at git://git.madism.org/git.git and split it apart somewhat. All of the patches were rebased onto my most recent master but I also yanked the two that impacted the builtin-fetch series out and layered them over a merge of db/fetch-pack and my version of your ph/parseopt series.

Why? Well I want to keep our options open about which series graduates to master first. Although builtin-fetch has been cooking for a while there's been a number of issues with that code. There exists a (perhaps small) chance that ph/parseopt will be ready before db/fetch-pack.

Currently ph/parseopt is in pu. Tomorrow I'll look at the usage strings in more depth and see if any improvements can be easily made. I already made one suggested by Dscho in builtin-add.
