We need to check $# immediately after the loop to ensure that we can
carve out $var and at least another arg.  [*Nit 1*]

The previous round required the command line to have at least one
after the loop (including parsing of $var) parsed it, but now we
fall through from here when a command line were:

    test_commit_setvar --merge -C there VAR

and because "$1" does not exist, such an error is propagated down to
"git merge" not getting the side branch, "git tag" not getting the
object to tag, etc.

Style?  [*Nit 2*]

Is "$(echo $A | cut -c1-7)" the same as "${A%${A#???????}}"?  If so,
the latter may be a bit shorter.

I wonder why we shouldn't always do "--fix-thin", so that the caller
does not even have to bother passing the "--thin" option.

Is this to protect us from "git bundle" creating a bundle that
contains a thin pack when it should not?  A caller that knows it is
storing a fully connected history can deliberately omit "--thin"
from the command line and make sure "index-pack" that is not asked
to do "--fix-thin" indeed finds the pack data fully self-contained,
so it may be a good idea to have these two separate codepaths after
all.  OK.

Do we even need the "error" message?  "git index-pack" would have
already given some error message to its standard error stream, no?
If so

	if test -n "$thin"
	then
		...
	fi || return 1

would be sufficient, I guess.

Looking good except for a few minor nits I mentioned above.

Thanks.
