I think the first patch is good. I am still thinking about the second
one though. Obviously rc is coming so it's not too pressing.
I've done a quick survey of parse-optification of builtins and I see
that send-pack, rev-list, and fetch-pack all set bitfields when parsing
options. Migrating these will have the same problems. I don't know if
there's really any simple answer to it though, because you can't take
the address of a bitfield. And I think it's stupid to make the bitfields
into full ints just to support parse-options.
Maybe some builtins are just never meant to be migrated. Like
update-index and its --cacheinfo option.
