Hi,

the -X<option> options are not really easy to convert to parseopt. This is only one indication that the interface can be improved.

Another one: you are more likely wanting to pass backend-_specific_ options to git-merge.

So, how about using this syntax instead?

	git pull -s recursive,theirs

i.e. strategy terms consist of the strategy name, optionally followed by a comma separated list of backend options.

Hmm?

Ciao, Dscho
