bug.

If things go as planned, tomorrow we will see a mass graduation to the
master branch of topics that have been cooking in next during the pre
release freeze period.

It just hit me that this is option can be used for a DoS attack (or
perhaps worse) when used in connection with --remote.  We need to apply
it on the client side instead of sending it to the remote end.  And
git-upload-archive needs to filter it out.  Ugh.

Here's a quick and dirty patch to do the latter.

Very nice.

The only caveat I can think of is with PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION set
(which is not default), you can correctly handle:

	git cmd --known --unknown=value arg0 arg1

but cannot correctly handle:

	git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1

An update to Documentation/technical/api-parse-options.txt that

 (1) describes this new option; and

 (2) warns about this issue.

It might even make sense to diagnose PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION used
together with PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN as a programming error.

"is necessary" is necessary here to complete my sentence.  Sorry.

[PATCH 6/4] parseopt: prevent KEEP_UNKNOWN and STOP_AT_NON_OPTION from being used together

[René Scharfe]

As suggested by Junio, disallow the flags PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and
PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION to be turned on at the same time, as a
value of an unknown option could be mistakenly classified as a
non-option, stopping the parser early.  E.g.:

	git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1

The parser should have stopped at "arg0", but it already stops at
"value".

This patch makes parse_options() die if the two flags are used in
combination.

[PATCH 4/4] archive: use parseopt for local-only options

[René Scharfe]

Replace the hand-rolled parsers that find and remove --remote and --exec
by a parseopt parser that also handles --output.

All three options only have a meaning if no remote server is used or on
the local side.  They must be rejected by upload-archive and should not
be sent to the server by archive.

We can't use a single parser for both remote and local side because the
remote end possibly understands a different set of options than the
local side.  A local parser would then wrongly accuse options valid on
the other side as being incorrect.

This patch implements a very forgiving parser that understands only the
three options mentioned above.  All others are passed to the normal,
complete parser in archive.c (running either locally in archive, or
remotely in upload-archive).  This normal parser definition contains
dummy entries for the three options, in order for them to appear in the
help screen.

The parseopt parser allows multiple occurrences of --remote and --exec
unlike the previous one; the one specified last wins.  This looseness
is acceptable, I think.

I agree.

If we care about this very deeply, we can add "this option is supposed to
be singleton" option to the parse_options infrastructure.  Besides, the
"last one wins" rule is often more convenient than "there has to be at
most one" rule in real life.
