Why not go the full nine yards and output something which when eval'ed sets the variables correctly (taking the variable names from the option names; long name if available, otherwise short one)? It can also set the command line arguments to what's left after option parsing, with a "set" call. And to prevent funny games with "PARSEOPT_OPTS=blabla git xyz", why not provide a function in git-sh-setup which takes the string as argument, and is called _after_ sourcing git-sh-setup?
