handle_revision_opt() tries to recognize and handle the given argument. If an option was unknown to it, it used to add the option to unkv[(*unkc)++]. This increment of unkc causes the variable in the caller to change. Teach handle_revision_opt to not update unknown arguments inside unkc anymore. This is now the responsibility of the caller. There are two callers of this function: 1. setup_revision: Changes have been made so that setup_revision will now update the unknown option in argv 2. parse_revision_opt: No changes are required here. This function throws an error whenever the option provided as argument was unknown to handle_revision_opt().
