  In fact it's not doable because of short options. I knew I already had
that idea but dropped it, the reason is that if you have the atom:

  -ab

  That the first pass knows about a -b, and that the second pass knows
about -a, then you have a problem. Because at soon you meet a flag that
you don't know about, you cannot parse any further. So we're back at
what I said, we must migrate revs and diff options parsing first, and
that's a huge task.
