-ECANTPARSE

Read the above again and wonder...

Does it stop, like the subject line says, or does it not stop???

Perhaps you meant to say something like this...

  Subject: [PATCH v3 01/13] parse-options: enhance STOP_AT_NON_OPTION

  Make parse_options_step() report PARSE_OPT_NON_OPTION, instead of
  PARSE_OPT_DONE, to the caller, when it sees a non-option argument.  

  This will help implementing a nonstandard option syntax that takes more
  than one parameters to an option, e.g.

      -L n1,m1 pathspec1 -L n2,m2 pathspec2

  by directly calling parse_options_step().  The parse_options() API only
  calls parse_options_step() once, and its callers are not affected by
  this change.

Currently blame and shortlog seems to use parse_options_step() but neither
of them uses STOP_AT_NON_OPTION, so this change shouldn't break them.
