Here is what I am going to queue for this fix; hopefully it can be cherry-picked by folks who maintain older versions of Git for distros and in-house use.

The other "huge" patch has also been adjusted by dropping the first hunk on builtin/push.c from it, and then resurrecting the part to use OPT_CALLBACK_F() for compare-and-swap (which happened to be in the same hunk).

Thanks for the fix and clean-up.  Very much appreciated.

Subject: [PATCH] push: unset PARSE_OPT_OPTARG for --recurse-submodules

When the usage for `git push` is shown, it includes the following lines

	--recurse-submodules[=(check|on-demand|no)]
			      control recursive pushing of submodules

which seem to indicate that the argument for --recurse-submodules is optional. However, we cannot actually run that optiion without an argument:

	$ git push --recurse-submodules
	fatal: recurse-submodules missing parameter

Unset PARSE_OPT_OPTARG so that it is clear that this option requires an argument. Since the parse-options machinery guarantees that an argument is present now, assume that `arg` is set in the else of option_parse_recurse_submodules().
