Subject: [PATCH] test-chmtime: use parse_options() to parse command-line flags
Message-ID: <pull.2280.git.1793099688076.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Shashank S Mogaveera <shashu8660@gmail.com>

cmd__chmtime() currently parses the '-v'/'--verbose' and '-g'/'--get'
flags manually using strcmp() checks and manual index tracking.

Refactor cmd__chmtime() to use parse_options() and usage_with_options()
instead. Pass PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT so that negative relative time
offsets (such as '-86400') are not rejected as unknown short options
and remain in argv for timespec_arg() to parse.
