Wouldn't

	verbosity=
	while :
        do
        	case "$1" in
                -q|--quiet) verbosity=-q ;;
                -v|--verbose) verbosity=-v ;;
		... others ...
                esac
                shift
	done
        git pull $verbosity other options

give the -q for the former and -v for the latter to "git pull"?
