[PATCH v2 00/20] parse-options: handle subcommands

Several Git commands have subcommands to implement mutually exclusive "operation modes", and they usually parse their subcommand argument with a bunch of if-else if statements.
Teach parse-options to handle subcommands as well, which will result in shorter and simpler code with consistent error handling and error messages on unknown or missing subcommand, and it will also make possible for our Bash completion script to handle subcommands programmatically in a follow-up series.
Changes since v1:
- Commit message updates.
- Put the troublesome subcommand arg between `' in error messages.
- Use designated initializers for OPT_SUBCOMMAND.
- Remove the unused 'kept_unknown' flag from 'struct parse_opt_ctx_t'
(it was used in WIP version of this patch series, that I didn't manage
to remove completely).
- Drop cmd_worktree()'s NO_PARSEOPT flag in the right patch.
- Use 'git -C ...' instead of ( cd ... && ... ) in t5505's new tests.
- Update API doc and BUG() string to mention PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT.
- Minor test helper refactorings.SZEDER Gábor (20):

Update this list, and remove this flag from the commands that by now

Here each OPT_SUBCOMMAND specifies the name of the subcommand and the
- function implementing it, and the same pointer to 'fn' where
- parse_options() will store the function associated with the given
- subcommand. There is no need to check whether 'fn' is non-NULL before
- invoking it: if there were no subcommands given on the command line
- then the parse_options() call would error out and show usage. In case

+ function implementing it, and the address of the same 'fn' subcommand
+ function pointer. parse_options() then processes the arguments until
+ it finds the first argument matching one of the subcommands, sets 'fn'
+ to the function associated with that subcommand, and returns, leaving
+ the rest of the arguments unprocessed. If none of the listed
+ subcommands is found among the arguments, parse_options() will show

+ If a command has a default operation mode, 'fn' should be initialized

+ flag is necessary as well (otherwise parse_options() would error out
+ upon seeing the unknown option meant to the default operation mode).
Some thoughts about the implementation:
- - Arguably it is a bit weird that the same pointer to 'fn' have to
- be specified as 'value' for each OPT_SUBCOMMAND, but we need a way
- to tell parse_options() where to put the function associated with
- the given subcommand, and I didn't like the alternatives:
+ - The same pointer to 'fn' must be specified as 'value' for each
+ OPT_SUBCOMMAND, because there can be only one set of mutually
+ exclusive subcommands; parse_options() will BUG() otherwise.
+
+ There are other ways to tell parse_options() where to put the
+ function associated with the subcommand given on the command line,
+ but I didn't like them:
- Change parse_options()'s signature by adding a pointer to
subcommand function to be set to the function associated with
