Subject: [PATCH] test-chmtime: use parse_options() to parse command-line flags
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 11:14:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2280.git.1793099688076.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Shashank S Mogaveera <shashu8660@gmail.com>
cmd__chmtime() currently parses the '-v'/'--verbose' and '-g'/'--get'
flags manually using strcmp() checks and manual index tracking.
Refactor cmd__chmtime() to use parse_options() and usage_with_options()
instead. Pass PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT so that negative relative time
offsets (such as '-86400') are not rejected as unknown short options
and remain in argv for timespec_arg() to parse.
