From 9c8398f0c9d1fc92df5c1a7a52c810294d8ac3f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sverre Rabbelier Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 18:06:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fast-import: add option command This allows the frontend to specify any of the supported options as long as no non-option command has been given. This way the user does not have to include any frontend-specific options, but instead she can rely on the frontend to tell fast-import what it needs. Also factor out parsing of argv and have it execute when we reach the first non-option command, or after all commands have been read and no non-option command has been encountered. Non-git options are ignored, unrecognised options result in an error.
