[PATCH 1/3] commit-tree: update the command line parsing

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

We have kept the original "git commit-tree <tree> -p <parent> ..." syntax
forever, but "git commit-tree -p <parent> -p <parent> ... <tree>" would be
more intuitive way to spell it. Dashed flags along with their arguments
come first and then the "thing" argument after the flags.
