$ git format-patch <committish> -- <path-not-in-working-dir>
Doesn't work otherwise. The current code would complain that the path is
not in the working tree and that "--" must be specified, even if the
user _did_ specify it. This happens because "--" is removed from the
arguments, so we need to pass PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH to parse_options
to avoid that.
