Hi Junio,

After spending a lot of time to try to make it work, I realized that it's in the name of `parse_options()` that it's not a `handle_subcommand()` API.

So yes, I agree there is probably a better way (and e.g. `git bundle` and `scalar` would benefit from it, too): designing a proper API for handling subcommands.

That's safely outside the scope of the patch series, of course.
