No good reason (an attempt to vaguely imitate the interface of
handle_revision_opt() from revision.c).  Since both callers die for
an unrecognized option, returning 0 for success and -1 for failure
would indeed be simpler.

I'll try to find time to reroll the series (including --patience)
on top of jn/merge-renormalize tomorrow.  Probably
--ignore-space-change et al are safe, too, though some test cases
would be nice.
