  Hmmm right, I was worried by the fact that the old PARSEOPT_OPTS was
being possibly diverted to inject malicious commands. I tend to find the
forced `OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH=` thing quite painful, but indeed it is
probably the sole way to guard ourselves against user stupidity (or more
likely unclean environments).

  Do you mind adding: OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH= front to the 8 patches that
needs it, or should I send an updated series ? (actually it's more like
the 7 that needs it as git-clean has been rewritten as a builtin if I'm
correct).
