Re: [PATCH] pack-objects: convert to use parse_options()

I'm going to address your comments soon (thanks by the way, making up summary line for each option from git-pack-objects.txt was painful) but since you like thought-provoking, check this comment out:

	/* Traditionally "pack-objects [options] base extra" failed;
	 * we would however want to take refs parameter that would
	 * have been given to upstream rev-list ourselves, which means
	 * we somehow want to say what the base name is.  So the
	 * syntax would be:
	 *
	 * pack-objects [options] base <refs...>
	 *
	 * in other words, we would treat the first non-option as the
	 * base_name and send everything else to the internal revision
	 * walker.
	 */

The last paragraph does not hold true anymore as far as I understand the code. IOW it drops everything in argv after base name. Looking back in history, the change was made by 8d1d8f8 (pack-objects: further work on internal rev-list logic. - 2006-09-06). Nothing is mentioned why it drops the remaining of argv. I suspect this is a regression and we should reinstate the behavior as the comment says.
