Subject: parse-options: Allow abbreviated options when unambiguous
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4-rc0~285^2~17
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7f275b91520d31bfbe43ec5a9bbaf8ac6e663ce0;p=git.git

parse-options: Allow abbreviated options when unambiguous

When there is an option "--amend", the option parser now recognizes
"--am" for that option, provided that there is no other option beginning
with "--am".
