About that, I know we talked about the -default thing and so on, I'm
not sure we should hurry that for 1.5.4 for the following reasons:
* I grepped through the source and the _sole_ instance of
parse-options enabled option arguments are --abbrev ones for now
(even in the shell scripts migrated to git rev-parse --parseopt).
* Not adding *-default and lax parsing for optional arguments is _not_
a regression for the migrated commands.
* I don't want to urge that because well, I still have the hope we
could come up with something even better.
So I'd argue in favor of that:
+ push the patch that forces the stuck forms (that I already posted)
for 1.5.4.
+ prepare a series in pu with *-default post 1.5.4 to evaluate this
and see what people think.
Most of the function with optional arguments are the git diff ones,
and we'll see about them post 1.5.4 anyways.
