[PATCH v3 02/19] parse-options-cb: implement parse_opt_passthru_argv()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Certain git commands, such as git-pull, are simply wrappers around other
git commands like git-fetch, git-merge and git-rebase. As such, these
wrapper commands will typically need to "pass through" command-line
options of the commands they wrap.

Implement the parse_opt_passthru_argv() parse-options callback, which
will reconstruct all the provided command-line options into an
argv_array, such that it can be passed to another git command. This is
useful for passing command-line options that can be specified multiple
times.

Notes:
    v3
    
    * Renamed function to the more descriptive parse_opt_passthru_argv().
    
    * Introduced and documented OPT_PASSTHRU_ARGV() macro, which saves the
      user from having to specify OPTION_CALLBACK and
      parse_opt_passthru_argv() for each option.
