The aim of the original series was to improve the documentation, so I
don't think it's unreasonable to consider this a regression and revert
the functional change. Although I think we can improve the behaviour
slightly (see below).

I think we should add:

Again I think this should say that only the `path` argument may be
supplied.

Maybe:
if (argc > 1 && !strcmp("--local-env-vars", argv[1])) {
if (argc != 2)
die("--local-env-vars must be the only argument");
since the behaviour of:
$ git rev-parse --local-env-vars --
--local-env-vars
--
is quite surprising.

This is less bad, but again it might be nice to provide a better error
if the path argument isn't supplied.

What about leaving this in and replacing the body of the if statement
with:
die("--local-env-vars must be the first argument");
? I expect this will significantly reduce debugging time if anyone is
relying on the current behaviour.
