This check should probably go into parse_options_check() and be run once for each invocation of parse_options_start()... Oh that isn't good.

Looks like parse_options_check() is being called for each parse_options_step(). Here's a patch to fix that. Junio, this can probably be applied to maint.

Subject: [PATCH] parse-options: Don't call parse_options_check() so much

parse_options_check() is being called for each invocation of parse_options_step() which can be quite a bit for some commands. The commit introducing this function cb9d398 (parse-options: add parse_options_check to validate option specs., 2009-06-09) had the correct motivation and explicitly states that parse_options_check() should be called from parse_options_start(). However, the implementation differs from the motivation. Fix it.
