Sure, according to our mentor teacher (Matthieu Moy) parse-option can handle both if the command is followed by a required argument, we just need to specify it.

Yes and No. We have already copied some code from git : parse-option, the error handling functions, a part of the run-command block and a part of the compatibility layer. To my mind, there is no reason to pull it into libgit2 as it's only a client feature that works on strings, and libgit2 does not aim at being a client, only a git library.
