For what it's worth I thought the suggestion of enums in your

e.g. I tried this on top:

I don't mind if this goes in, but I think doing that would make this
much easier to deal with, as it would be more obvious when working on
the code just what flag you're dealing with. Even as Junio points out
downthread of that it mostly doesn't matter in C.

See though 3f9ab7ccdea (parse-options.[ch]: consistently use "enum
parse_opt_flags", 2021-10-08) where doing it this way makes debugging
much nicer to work with.

I don't think this needs a re-roll, but FWIW I think it's much easier to
review changes like these if the changes are kept apart. E.g. this
variable renaming from the type change.

And this change not mentioned in the commit message of seemingly doing
some re-flowing of argument lists while we're at it.

The post-image is better, but better done is another step IMO.

I didn't look through the rest of the diff as you sent it, but locally
with appropriate word-diff flags to hide any formatting changes.

The post-image LGTM, but I'm also a bit "meh" on the churn just for
signed->unsigned, especially given the conflict with my in-flight
ab/no-errno-from-resolve-ref-unsafe. But it's not too bad, and if Junio
hasn't complained about it...
