This series changes usage_with_options_internal() in parse-options.c
to properly align continued "\n" usage output.

Before this change some built-ins using the API effectively tried to
hack around the lack of such alignment, with some getting it wrong,
and some getting it right. Others such as "git stash -h" didn't at
all, and their continued "\n" output would always look weirdly
misaligned. Now the output all looks nice!

This came about from following the thread of "why we we even have '\n'
here at all?", which is a question I had in my own mind around
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87zgszxirn.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com

Let's "fix" various "git <cmd> -h" output by "properly" aligning the
output in cases where we continue usage output after a "\n". The "fix"
and "properly" scare quotes are because this actually makes things
worse in some cases, because e.g. in the case of "git tag -h" the
"\t\t" effectively works around how parse-options.c aligns this
output.

But two wrongs don't make a right, let's "fix" this by making it worse
temporarily, in anticipating of improving parse-options.c to handle
this alignment.

The issue is that we should have whitespace corresponding to the
length of the command name here, e.g. in the case of "git ls-remote"
it should be 14 characters, or the length of ""git ls-remote
". Instead we had 21 characters in builtin/ls-remote.c, those extra 7
characters are the length of "usage: " (and also " or:"). So in the C
locale the resulting output aligns nicely:

    $ git ls-remote -h
    usage: git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
                         [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url]
                         [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]

But that's fragile, we might not be under the C locale. We really
should have parse-options.c itself add this padding. In a subsequent
commit I'll make it do that.

In the case of "tag" and "show-branch" and "stash save" the output was
not properly aligned, although in the "git tag" case it was
near-enough (aligned with the "-" in "git tag -l") to look good,
assuming C locale & a tab-width of 8. In any case, let's align this in
a way that looks obviously correct when looking at the source itself,
and then improve parse-options.c itself.

Some commands such as "git stash" emit continued options output with
e.g. "git stash -h", because usage_with_options_internal() prefixes
with its own whitespace the resulting output wasn't properly
aligned. Let's account for the added whitespace, which properly aligns
the output.

The "git stash" command has usage output with a N_() translation that
legitimately stretches across multiple lines;

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"

We'd like to have that output aligned with the length of the initial
"git stash " output, but since usage_with_options_internal() adds its
own whitespace prefixing we fell short, before this change we'd emit:

    $ git stash -h
    usage: git stash list [<options>]
       or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
              [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
              [...]

Now we'll properly emit aligned output.  I.e. the last four lines
above will instead be (a whitespace-only change to the above):

       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
                     [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
                     [...]

In making this change we can can fold the two for-loops over *usagestr
into one. We had two of them purely to account for the case where an
empty string in the array delimits the usage output from free-form
text output.

We could skip the string_list_split() with a strchr(str, '\n') check,
but we'd then need to duplicate our state machine for strings that do
and don't contain a "\n". It's simpler to just always split into a
"struct string_list", even though the common case is that that "struct
string_list" will contain only one element. This is not
performance-sensitive code.

This change is relatively more complex since I've accounted for making
it future-proof for RTL translation support. Later in
usage_with_options_internal() we have some existing padding code
dating back to d7a38c54a6c (parse-options: be able to generate usages
automatically, 2007-10-15) which isn't RTL-safe, but that code would
be easy to fix. Let's not introduce new RTL translation problems here.

I may be missing something obvious, but I'm having trouble understanding 
why this single loop is better than the two loops it replaces. The 
cognitive load of the new code is much higher than that of the original. 
With the original code, the logic was obvious at a glance. On the other 
hand, I had to concentrate hard to figure out what the new code is 
trying to do and to wrap my brain around all the cases it is handling. I 
suppose you went with the single loop to avoid code duplication (in 
particular, the call to string_list_split() and the loop over the split 
elements)?

There are other ways this might be accomplished which don't carry such a 
high cognitive load. One (typed-in-email) possibility which closely 
resembles the existing code:

     const char *pfx = usage_prefix;
     while (*usagestr && **usagestr) {
         string_list_split(&list, _(*usagestr++), ...);
         fprintf_ln(outfile, pfx, list.items[0].string);
         for (i = 1; i < list.nr; i++)
             fprintf_ln(outfile, usage_continued,
                 (int)or_len, "", list.items[i].string);
         pfx = or_prefix;
     }
     while (*usagestr) {
         string_list_split(&list, _(*usagestr++), ...);
         for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++) {
             const char *line = list.items[i].string;
             if (*line)
                 fprintf_ln(outfile, _("    %s"), line);
             else
                 fputc('\n', outfile);
         }
     }

I also wonder if you really need to support the embedded-newline case 
for the free-form text loop. For free-form text, it's just as easy for 
each line of text to be a distinct item in the usage[] array, if I 
understand correctly, so there isn't really a good reason for clients to 
embed newlines in the free-form text portion. Given that there's only a 
single client in the entire project which takes advantage of the 
free-form text support -- and that client doesn't embed newlines -- it 
may be simpler to not bother supporting embedded newlines for the 
free-form text, in which case you don't even need to modify that loop; 
the existing code is good enough.

Anyhow, the above observations are subjective, thus not necessarily 
actionable, however, there is also a subtle yet dramatic behavior change 
in the new code, if I understand correctly. It's not clear if this 
behavior change is intentional (it isn't mentioned in the commit 
message), but it does seem potentially dangerous. Specifically, with the:

     if (!saw_empty_line && !*line)
         saw_empty_line = 1;

check inside the inner loop which iterates over the split lines, this 
means that if someone accidentally embeds an extra newline in some usage 
line:

     static const char *foo_usage[] = {
         N_("git foo --bar\n\n" /* <-- accidental extra newline */
            "        --baz"),
         N_("git boo"),
         NULL
     };

then _all_ following usage lines will incorrectly be treated as 
free-form text lines rather than as the "or:" lines they are intended to 
be. Moving the:

     if (!saw_empty_line && !*line)
         saw_empty_line = 1;

check from the inner loop to the outer loop should restore the original 
(intended) behavior, I believe.

This series changes usage_with_options_internal() in parse-options.c
to properly align continued "\n" usage output.

This v2 now also gets rid of the support for "" in the usage string
array. Eric Sunshine had ideas[1] for how to simplify the code in v1,
along with a suggestion that we could just get rid of the "" from
"builtin/blame.c".

I'd done some experiments with that before submitting v1, but decided
to try to submit something simpler to begin with. But let's just grow
this in scope a bit and do that, as shown here we also need to do the
same in builtin/credential-cache*.c.

This gives us a much nicer end-state, and as an added bonus
effectively brings back the check removed with the removal of
USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N in in-flight ]2], which is what brought
this alignment issue & edge cases in parse_options() usage to my
attention in the first place.

Instead of checking $NO_UNIX_SOCKETS directly in
t/t0301-credential-cache.sh, follow the more common pattern of
creating a test prerequisite in test-lib.sh.

See 6320358e31d (Makefile: unix sockets may not available on some
platforms, 2011-12-12) for the original implementation of
NO_UNIX_SOCKETS.

Change the implementation of b5dd96b70ac (make credential helpers
builtins, 2020-08-13) to declare in the "struct cmd_struct" that
NO_UNIX_SOCKETS can't be set.

This is one of two in-tree users for the empty lines in
parse_options() usage, getting rid of that is the main motivation for
this, but it also doesn't make sense to emit these sorts of usage
messages just to appease t0012-help.sh, which seemingly b5dd96b70ac
aimed to do.

I.e. these commands don't support "[options]", or "<action>" so
emitting that at the beginning is incorrect. We should just die right
away.

The existing code also had the edge case of not emitting the die()
message if a "-h" argument was given, since parse_options() will
handle the exit() itself in that case. We could feed it
PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, but this is better.

By moving this up to the "struct cmd_struct" we can also skip these in
--list-cmds=builtins instead, as noted above we shouldn't be exiting
with code 129 in these cases.

The strings in the the "usagestr" array have special handling for the
empty string dating back to f389c808b67 (Rework make_usage to print
the usage message immediately, 2007-10-14).

We'll prefix all strings after the first one with "or: ". Then if we
encountered a "" we'll emit all strings after that point verbatim
without any "or: " prefixing.

This gets rid of that special case, which was added in
f389c808b67 (Rework make_usage to print the usage message immediately,
2007-10-14). It was only used "blame" (the "credential-cache*" use of
it was removed in the preceding commit). Before this change we'd emit:

    $ git blame -h
    usage: git blame [<options>] [<rev-opts>] [<rev>] [--] <file>

        <rev-opts> are documented in git-rev-list(1)

This changes that output to simply use "[<git-rev-list args>]" instead
of "[<rev-opts>]". This accomplishes the same, is more consistent as
"git bundle" and "git blame" use the same way of referring to these
options now.

The use of this in "blame" dated back to 5817da01434 (git-blame:
migrate to incremental parse-option [1/2], 2008-07-08), and the use in
"bundle" to 2e0afafebd8 (Add git-bundle: move objects and
references by archive, 2007-02-22).

Once we get rid of this special case we can also use usage_msg_opt()
to emit the error message we'd get on an invalid "-L <range>"
argument, which means we can get rid of the old-style "blame_usage"
variable.

It's possible that this change introduce breakage somewhere. We'd only
catch these cases at runtime, and the "git rev-parse --parseopt"
command is used by shellscripts, see bac199b7b17 (Update
git-sh-setup(1) to allow transparent use of git-rev-parse --parseopt,
2007-11-04). I've grepped the codebase for "OPTIONS_SPEC",
"char.*\*.*usage\[\]" etc. I'm fairly sure there no outstanding users
of this functionality.

Let's "fix" various "git <cmd> -h" output by "properly" aligning the
output in cases where we continue usage output after a "\n". The "fix"
and "properly" scare quotes are because this actually makes things
worse in some cases, because e.g. in the case of "git tag -h" the
"\t\t" effectively works around how parse-options.c aligns this
output.

But two wrongs don't make a right, let's "fix" this by making it worse
temporarily, in anticipation of improving parse-options.c to handle
this alignment.

The issue is that we should have whitespace corresponding to the
length of the command name here, e.g. in the case of "git ls-remote"
it should be 14 characters, or the length of ""git ls-remote
". Instead we had 21 characters in builtin/ls-remote.c, those extra 7
characters are the length of "usage: " (and also " or:"). So in the C
locale the resulting output aligns nicely:

    $ git ls-remote -h
    usage: git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
                         [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url]
                         [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]

But that's fragile, we might not be under the C locale. We really
should have parse-options.c itself add this padding. In a subsequent
commit I'll make it do that.

In the case of "tag" and "show-branch" and "stash save" the output was
not properly aligned, although in the "git tag" case it was
near-enough (aligned with the "-" in "git tag -l") to look good,
assuming C locale & a tab-width of 8. In any case, let's align this in
a way that looks obviously correct when looking at the source itself,
and then improve parse-options.c itself.

When "send-pack" was changed to use the parse_options() API in
068c77a5189 (builtin/send-pack.c: use parse_options API, 2015-08-19)
it was made to use one very long line, instead it should split them up
with newlines.

Furthermore we were including an inline explanation that you couldn't
combine "--all" and "<ref>", but unlike in the "blame" case this was
not preceded by an empty string.

Let's instead show that --all and <ref> can't be combined in the the
usual language of the usage syntax instead. We can make it clear that
one of the two options "--foo" and "--bar" is mandatory, but that the

Some commands such as "git stash" emit continued options output with
e.g. "git stash -h", because usage_with_options_internal() prefixes
with its own whitespace the resulting output wasn't properly
aligned. Let's account for the added whitespace, which properly aligns
the output.

The "git stash" command has usage output with a N_() translation that
legitimately stretches across multiple lines;

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

We'd like to have that output aligned with the length of the initial
"git stash " output, but since usage_with_options_internal() adds its
own whitespace prefixing we fell short, before this change we'd emit:

    $ git stash -h
    usage: git stash list [<options>]
       or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
              [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
              [...]

Now we'll properly emit aligned output.  I.e. the last four lines
above will instead be (a whitespace-only change to the above):

       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
                     [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
                     [...]

We could also go for an approach where we have the caller support no
padding of their own, i.e. (same as the first example, except for the
padding on the second line):

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

But to do that we'll need to find the length of "git stash". We can
discover that from the "cmd" in the "struct cmd_struct", but there
might cases with sub-commands or "git" itself taking arguments that
would make that non-trivial.

Even if it was I still think this approach is better, because this way
we'll get the same legible alignment in the C code. The fact that
usage_with_options_internal() is adding its own prefix padding is an
implementation detail that callers shouldn't need to worry about.

Implementation notes:

We could skip the string_list_split() with a strchr(str, '\n') check,
but we'd then need to duplicate our state machine for strings that do
and don't contain a "\n". It's simpler to just always split into a
"struct string_list", even though the common case is that that "struct
string_list" will contain only one element. This is not
performance-sensitive code.

This change is relatively more complex since I've accounted for making
it future-proof for RTL translation support. Later in
usage_with_options_internal() we have some existing padding code
dating back to d7a38c54a6c (parse-options: be able to generate usages
automatically, 2007-10-15) which isn't RTL-safe, but that code would
be easy to fix. Let's not introduce new RTL translation problems here.

I'm also adding a check to catch the mistake of needlessly adding a
trailing "\n", such as:

	N_("git stash save [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [<message>]\n"),

Or even a mistake like adding just one "\n" in a string with no other
newlines:

	N_("git stash list [<options>]\n"),

This catches the cases already tested for in cmd_parseopt(), but this
covers the purely C API. As noted a preceding commit that added the
die() to cmd_parseopt() I'm fairly confident that this will be
triggered by no in-tree user I've missed.

It may happen to be that two credential-cache program are both
related to the same CPP macro NO_UNIX_SOCKETS, but I think the
pattern you are tackling with this topic is that a fallback
definition of a function that is designed to always die when invoked
misuses the parse-options API.  I do not want to see you invent a
new bit in cmd_struct for each and every conditional that lets us
define such a die-only fallback implementation.

I may be missing something obvious, but can't the following suffice,
and if not, why?

Thanks.

The most crucial information is missing.  It may be shared with the
previous step but it is even worse in this step.

Why is this loss of feature a desirable thing in the first place?

What are we gaining by breaking the "after listing the alternative
forms concatenated with 'or:', we can give a general description,
before going onto the list of options"?

Without that explained, the remainder of the proposed log message
reads more like an excuse for breaking the feature, justifying that
the loss of feature can be worked around, than the description of a
solution.

Thanks.

Isn't this aiming for a wrong end goal?  With an overly long
subcommand name, we'd end up with overly deep indentation of the
subsequent lines (hence too narrow a space to fit the options).

Rather, wouldn't it be better to aim for a consistent and wide
enough indentation, like say two tabs, everywhere, no matter how
long the subcommand name is?

Thanks.

Perhaps I should take a stab at rewriting this, something like:

    Let's start by aligning the strings in the C code so that their
    indentation is correct, in the end it'll still be off due to the
    indentation parse_options() itself adds, but that'll be fixed in a
    subsequent commit. That subsequent commit relies on the indentation
    in the source being consistent.

Similarly to the discussion on another patch about whether we should
convert these long lines to [<options>] or not, I think this is really
outside the scope of this series.

In this particular case the indentation remains exactly the same before
this series and after, for the other cases there's usually a change of
1-3 spaces or so, i.e. they were slightly off.

Should we have no indentation at all? Auto re-indent or whatever? Maybe,
but let's start by narrowly fixing code that's clearly a bit off in
functionality from what it's doing & intending to do right now.

Making it the same as how "git bundle" describes it doesn't seem
anywhere close to breaking it, and that also goes to the point you had
about brevity on another patch.

I think that passing custom or generated help advice here might make
sense generally, i.e. we might eventually want to expand that to all
built-in as part of improving the -h and --help output, see e.g. the
note at the bottom of "git --help".

But if we do that let's do that with an API where we simply pass this
custom string in as another parameter to the function, rather than
having a state machine to parse it out of the array we use for the
"usage:" and "or:" list of lines.

I think this is covered if you go on to read the rest of the commit
message, i.e. yes we could, but the trade-off is making the test and
users that might want to use --list-cmds=builtins hardcode these two as
special cases under the relevant prereq.

Hence doing this in the main git.c dispatch mechanism, if we can't ever
do anything useful with these it seems best to mark them as such at
compile-time in that dispatch mechanism.

Sorry, if this is silly, but why is this not better (at least as a starting

That smells to show a much better direction to me ;-)

Sorry, but I do not follow.  A perfectly fine way to encode the
three (usage:, or:, and text) kind of information in a single array
is what this step is breaking, and then you propose to keep the two
still in that same array, with only the third kind kicked out to
"another parameter", which does not make much sense to me.

I'm fine with it. I'm just trying to get to the end-goal of fixing the
formatting issue in "-h" output in the simplest way possible.

What you're suggesting would be effectively a revert of various parts of
b5dd96b70ac (make credential helpers builtins, 2020-08-13), which is
behavior I assumed we'd like to retain.

But yes, if changing that behavior is OK then this is simpler.

Anyway, all of this in v2 was in response to feedback on v1 to make the
v1 function in parse_options() easier, see summary at
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-0.2-00000000000-20210901T110917Z-avarab@gmail.com/

But it does look like Junio would like to keep the only "real" in-tree
user of the current API in builtin/blame.c, so at that point removing
these by any method becomes a moot point, so I think I'l try some
alternate approach based on v1 that doesn't touch these at all again.

To be clear, I only asked whether you really needed to add support for
embedded newlines in free-form usage strings following a "" line; I
didn't actually suggest dropping support for free-form text following
a "" line. Perhaps I didn't articulate that well enough, though, in my
review(?).

Aside: I did, however, _think_ about suggesting that free-form text
support be dropped since I only found one consumer of the feature,
however, I decided not to make that suggestion since the feature
seemed like it had potential value and the current implementation is
good enough and simple enough (though undocumented, as far as I can
tell).

This series changes usage_with_options_internal() in parse-options.c
to properly align continued "\n" usage output.

I think this v3 will address the feedback on v2. I'm not confident the
direction will be agreed with, but let's see.

I've taken Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón's suggestion of just not
building the credential-cache built-ins under NO_UNIX_SOCKETS, which
I'm much happier with as a solution than my v2, I just thought Junio
would veto it, but it seems he likes the direction.

The removal of the undocumented API from "git blame" is now its own
commit, which I think does a good job of justifying itself.

Then the justification in "parse-options: stop supporting" is updated
& much improved, i.e. I've had my eye on migrating git.c to
parse_options(), which wants to make use of this sort of API, but
can't because of the limitations of the API being removed here. I
think per the justification in that commit it makes sense to remove
this here, and just add something like it back later.

    -    git.c: add a NEED_UNIX_SOCKETS option for built-ins
    +    credential-cache{,--daemon}: don't build under NO_UNIX_SOCKETS
     
         Change the implementation of b5dd96b70ac (make credential helpers
    -    builtins, 2020-08-13) to declare in the "struct cmd_struct" that
    -    NO_UNIX_SOCKETS can't be set.
    +    builtins, 2020-08-13) to not build these at all under
    +    NO_UNIX_SOCKETS.
     
    -    This is one of two in-tree users for the empty lines in
    -    parse_options() usage, getting rid of that is the main motivation for
    -    this, but it also doesn't make sense to emit these sorts of usage
    -    messages just to appease t0012-help.sh, which seemingly b5dd96b70ac
    -    aimed to do.
    +    This is the easiest way to get rid of one out of two users of an
    +    obscure parse_options() API I'm trying to get rid of. It does mean
    +    that the goal of emitting a custom error message in b5dd96b70ac is
    +    being eliminated, but per [1] that seems to be an OK direction to go
    +    in.
     
    -    I.e. these commands don't support "[options]", or "<action>" so
    -    emitting that at the beginning is incorrect. We should just die right
    -    away.
    +    By not compiling it at all it won't be included in the "struct
    +    cmd_struct", and therefore will also be omitted from
    +    "--list-cmds=builtins".
     
    -    The existing code also had the edge case of not emitting the die()
    -    message if a "-h" argument was given, since parse_options() will
    -    handle the exit() itself in that case. We could feed it
    -    PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, but this is better.
    -
    -    By moving this up to the "struct cmd_struct" we can also skip these in
    -    --list-cmds=builtins instead, as noted above we shouldn't be exiting
    -    with code 129 in these cases.

Change the implementation of b5dd96b70ac (make credential helpers
builtins, 2020-08-13) to not build these at all under
NO_UNIX_SOCKETS.

This is the easiest way to get rid of one out of two users of an
obscure parse_options() API I'm trying to get rid of. It does mean
that the goal of emitting a custom error message in b5dd96b70ac is
being eliminated, but per [1] that seems to be an OK direction to go
in.

By not compiling it at all it won't be included in the "struct
cmd_struct", and therefore will also be omitted from
"--list-cmds=builtins".

Change the "git blame -h" output to be consistent with "git bundle
-h"'s, i.e. before this we'd emit:

    $ git blame -h
    usage: git blame [<options>] [<rev-opts>] [<rev>] [--] <file>

        <rev-opts> are documented in git-rev-list(1)
    [...]

Now instead of that we'll emit:

    $ git blame -h
    usage: git blame [<options>] [<git rev-list args>] [<rev>] [--] <file>
    [...]

This makes it consistent with the usage spec used for "git bundle":

    $ git bundle -h
    usage: git bundle create [<options>] <file> <git-rev-list args>
    [...]

The use of this in "blame" dated back to 5817da01434 (git-blame:
migrate to incremental parse-option [1/2], 2008-07-08), and the use in
"bundle" to 2e0afafebd8 (Add git-bundle: move objects and
references by archive, 2007-02-22).

Once we get rid of this special case we can also use usage_msg_opt()
to emit the error message we'd get on an invalid "-L <range>"
argument, which means we can get rid of the old-style "blame_usage"
variable entirely. This makes the output friendlier, before we'd emit say:

    $ git blame -L1,2,3,4 Makefile
    usage: git blame [<options>] [<rev-opts>] [<rev>] [--] <file>
    $

Now we'll instead emit:

    $ git blame -L1,2,3,4 Makefile
    fatal: Invalid -L <range> parameter

    usage: git blame [<options>] [<git rev-list args>] [<rev>] [--] <file>
    [...]
    $

The "[...]" there elides the "git blame" option summary.

The strings in the the "usagestr" array have special handling for the
empty string dating back to f389c808b67 (Rework make_usage to print
the usage message immediately, 2007-10-14).

We'll prefix all strings after the first one with "or: ". Then if we
encountered a "" we'll emit all strings after that point verbatim
without any "or: " prefixing.

In the preceding commits we got rid of the two users of this
undocumented part of the API. Let's remove it in preparation for
improving the output emitted by usage_with_options_internal().

I think we might want to use this in the future, but in that case
we'll be much better off with an API that emulates the
non-parse_options() way that git.c does this.

That git.c code uses a separate "git_usage_string" and
"git_more_info_string". See b7d9681974e (Print info about "git help
COMMAND" on git's main usage pages, 2008-06-06). By splitting the two
up we can emit something in the middle, as indeed git.c does.

I'd like our "git <cmd> -h" info to be more helpful, and I'd also like
parse_options() to handle the "git" command itself, because of the
limitations of how this was done in usage_with_options_internal() we
couldn't migrate a caller like git.c to parse_options().

So let's just remove this for now, it has no users, and once we want
to do this again we can simply add another argument to the relevant
functions, or otherwise hook into things so that we can print
something at the end and/or middle.

It's possible that this change introduce breakage somewhere. We'd only
catch these cases at runtime, and the "git rev-parse --parseopt"
command is used by shellscripts, see bac199b7b17 (Update
git-sh-setup(1) to allow transparent use of git-rev-parse --parseopt,
2007-11-04). I've grepped the codebase for "OPTIONS_SPEC",
"char.*\*.*usage\[\]" etc. I'm fairly sure there no outstanding users
of this functionality.

Let's "fix" various "git <cmd> -h" output by "properly" aligning the
output in cases where we continue usage output after a "\n". The "fix"
and "properly" scare quotes are because this actually makes things
worse in some cases, because e.g. in the case of "git tag -h" the
"\t\t" effectively works around how parse-options.c aligns this
output.

But two wrongs don't make a right, let's "fix" this by making it worse
temporarily, in anticipation of improving parse-options.c to handle
this alignment.

The issue is that we should have whitespace corresponding to the
length of the command name here, e.g. in the case of "git ls-remote"
it should be 14 characters, or the length of ""git ls-remote
". Instead we had 21 characters in builtin/ls-remote.c, those extra 7
characters are the length of "usage: " (and also " or:"). So in the C
locale the resulting output aligns nicely:

    $ git ls-remote -h
    usage: git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
                         [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url]
                         [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]

But that's fragile, we might not be under the C locale. We really
should have parse-options.c itself add this padding. In a subsequent
commit I'll make it do that.

In the case of "tag" and "show-branch" and "stash save" the output was
not properly aligned, although in the "git tag" case it was
near-enough (aligned with the "-" in "git tag -l") to look good,
assuming C locale & a tab-width of 8. In any case, let's align this in
a way that looks obviously correct when looking at the source itself,
and then improve parse-options.c itself.

When "send-pack" was changed to use the parse_options() API in
068c77a5189 (builtin/send-pack.c: use parse_options API, 2015-08-19)
it was made to use one very long line, instead it should split them up
with newlines.

Furthermore we were including an inline explanation that you couldn't
combine "--all" and "<ref>", but unlike in the "blame" case this was
not preceded by an empty string.

Let's instead show that --all and <ref> can't be combined in the the
usual language of the usage syntax instead. We can make it clear that
one of the two options "--foo" and "--bar" is mandatory, but that the
two are mutually exclusive by referring to them as "( --foo | --bar
)".

	Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason

Some commands such as "git stash" emit continued options output with
e.g. "git stash -h", because usage_with_options_internal() prefixes
with its own whitespace the resulting output wasn't properly
aligned. Let's account for the added whitespace, which properly aligns
the output.

The "git stash" command has usage output with a N_() translation that
legitimately stretches across multiple lines;

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

We'd like to have that output aligned with the length of the initial
"git stash " output, but since usage_with_options_internal() adds its
own whitespace prefixing we fell short, before this change we'd emit:

    $ git stash -h
    usage: git stash list [<options>]
       or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
              [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
              [...]

Now we'll properly emit aligned output.  I.e. the last four lines
above will instead be (a whitespace-only change to the above):

       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
                     [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
                     [...]

We could also go for an approach where we have the caller support no
padding of their own, i.e. (same as the first example, except for the
padding on the second line):

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

But to do that we'll need to find the length of "git stash". We can
discover that from the "cmd" in the "struct cmd_struct", but there
might cases with sub-commands or "git" itself taking arguments that
would make that non-trivial.

Even if it was I still think this approach is better, because this way
we'll get the same legible alignment in the C code. The fact that
usage_with_options_internal() is adding its own prefix padding is an
implementation detail that callers shouldn't need to worry about.

Implementation notes:

We could skip the string_list_split() with a strchr(str, '\n') check,
but we'd then need to duplicate our state machine for strings that do
and don't contain a "\n". It's simpler to just always split into a
"struct string_list", even though the common case is that that "struct
string_list" will contain only one element. This is not
performance-sensitive code.

This change is relatively more complex since I've accounted for making
it future-proof for RTL translation support. Later in
usage_with_options_internal() we have some existing padding code
dating back to d7a38c54a6c (parse-options: be able to generate usages
automatically, 2007-10-15) which isn't RTL-safe, but that code would
be easy to fix. Let's not introduce new RTL translation problems here.

I'm also adding a check to catch the mistake of needlessly adding a
trailing "\n", such as:

	N_("git stash save [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [<message>]\n"),

Or even a mistake like adding just one "\n" in a string with no other
newlines:

	N_("git stash list [<options>]\n"),

This catches the cases already tested for in cmd_parseopt(), but this
covers the purely C API. As noted a preceding commit that added the
die() to cmd_parseopt() I'm fairly confident that this will be
triggered by no in-tree user I've missed.

This is lacking a hyphen between `git` and `rev-list`...

builltin/blame.c seems to be pretty consistent about starting error
and warning messages with a lowercase letter, so this perhaps should
follow suit. Also, I think you can drop "parameter" without losing
clarity:

    invalid -L range

would likely be good enough.

Yah, I forgot about EXCLUDED_PROGRAMS ;-)

What we take are options that rev-list takes, not arguments like A..B,
so the updated text seems to be more wrong.

It does not even make much sense as a goal to make "blame" and
"bundle" similar to begin with, does it?  It may make sense for
"bundle" to be more similar to "pack-objects", in that the
information the command needs ultimately is about what is needed by
"rev-list --objects" (i.e. object enumeration), while "blame" is
more similar to "log", in that it is interested in walking commit
DAG but not about the trees and blobs connected to the commits in
the DAG.  From the end-users' point of view, they do not care if
"bundle" and "blame" are explained using similar terms.

Also, not all <rev-opts> you can see from "git rev-list -h" would
make sense in the context of "git blame".  "--no-merges" and any
options that are related to the number of parents make no sense,
--all, --branches and the friends, when used to give multiple
positive ends (i.e. starting points) of traversal, would not make
sense at all, options about ordering and formatting output of
rev-list of course would not make any difference.

At the very least, we should say <rev-list-options> there, or we
should just drop the mention of "we also take some options meant for
rev-list" from here, leaving:

	usage: git blame [<options>] [<rev>] [--] <file>

and nothing else?

I am sympathetic to the original reasoning why we wanted to add a
parenthetical "by the way, we also take (some) options rev-list
takes" here.  This is because not all relevant options are described
in the options[] array we have there (we delegate what we do not
know to parse_revisions_opt()), and it is sort of understandable
that they wanted to leave a hint that the list of options given here
is not exhaustive.

But in the longer run, if we really wanted to make the -h output
useful to end users, what we should aim for is not to make it
similar to "git bundle", but to ensure that the option summary
includes the relevant options shared with rev-list (in other words,
make the list of options cover all the options the command takes,
not just the ones in today's options[] array).

When that happens, users do not have to care which ones happen to be
parsed by us via our call to parse_options_step(), and which other
ones are given to parse_revision_opt().  There won't be any need to
say "we also take some options..." with <rev-opts> in the original.

"invalid -L <range>" is fine, but can't we parrot what the user gave
us here?  You can give more than one -L to specify two ranges in the
same file that are not contiguous:

	git blame -L1,10 -L100.112 master..seen -- foo.c

and it would be helpful to tell which one is broken.

... coalmine canaries that tell us that end-user's scripts using the

I'd rather not have to sorry about breaking end-user scripts this
way.  Unlike a very small number of in-tree parse_options() call in
C programs, we have unbounded of them.

This series changes usage_with_options_internal() in parse-options.c
to properly align continued "\n" usage output.

This v4 essentially goes back to the version of this in v1. In v2 I'd
addressed Eric's comments in [1] by trying to remove the last three
in-tree users of this part of the API.

But if "git rev-parse --parseopt" is going to be bug-for-bug
compatible with existing out-of-tree users[2] then changing that
becomes a non-starter.

So let's keep the existing behavior (which also had at least one other
weird & undocumented edge case, which we now test for).

This v4 also has a fix for the "saw_empty_line" bug Eric noted in [2]
(which wasn't applicable to v2..v3), and takes some of his suggestions
for simplifying the loop (but not all, I still kept it as one loop).

    -    built-ins: "properly" align continued usage output
    +    parse-options API users: align usage output in C-strings
     
    -    Let's "fix" various "git <cmd> -h" output by "properly" aligning the
    -    output in cases where we continue usage output after a "\n". The "fix"
    -    and "properly" scare quotes are because this actually makes things
    -    worse in some cases, because e.g. in the case of "git tag -h" the
    -    "\t\t" effectively works around how parse-options.c aligns this
    -    output.
    +    In preparation for having continued usage lines properly aligned in
    +    "git <cmd> -h" output, let's have the "[" on the second such lines
    +    align with the "[" on the first line.
     
    -    But two wrongs don't make a right, let's "fix" this by making it worse
    -    temporarily, in anticipation of improving parse-options.c to handle
    -    this alignment.
    +    In some cases this makes the output worse, because e.g. the "git
    +    ls-remote -h" output had been aligned to account for the extra
    +    whitespace that the usage_with_options_internal() function in
    +    parse-options.c would add.
     
    -    The issue is that we should have whitespace corresponding to the
    -    length of the command name here, e.g. in the case of "git ls-remote"
    -    it should be 14 characters, or the length of ""git ls-remote
    -    ". Instead we had 21 characters in builtin/ls-remote.c, those extra 7
    -    characters are the length of "usage: " (and also " or:"). So in the C
    -    locale the resulting output aligns nicely:
    +    In other cases such as builtin/stash.c (not changed here), we were
    +    aligned in the C strings, but since that didn't account for the extra
    +    padding in usage_with_options_internal() it would come out looking
    +    misaligned, e.g. code like this:
     
    -        $ git ls-remote -h
    -        usage: git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
    -                             [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url]
    -                             [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]
    +            N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
    +               "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
     
    -    But that's fragile, we might not be under the C locale. We really
    -    should have parse-options.c itself add this padding. In a subsequent
    -    commit I'll make it do that.
    +    Would emit:
     
    -    In the case of "tag" and "show-branch" and "stash save" the output was
    -    not properly aligned, although in the "git tag" case it was
    -    near-enough (aligned with the "-" in "git tag -l") to look good,
    -    assuming C locale & a tab-width of 8. In any case, let's align this in
    -    a way that looks obviously correct when looking at the source itself,
    -    and then improve parse-options.c itself.
    +       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
    +              [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
    +
    +    Let's change all the usage arrays which use such continued usage
    +    output via "\n"-embedding to be like builtin/stash.c.
    +
    +    This makes the output worse temporarily, but in a subsequent change
    +    I'll improve the usage_with_options_internal() to take this into
    +    account, at which point all of the strings being changed here will
    +    emit prettier output.

    -    parse-options: stop supporting "" in the usagestr array
    +    git rev-parse --parseopt tests: add more usagestr tests
     
    -    The strings in the the "usagestr" array have special handling for the
    -    empty string dating back to f389c808b67 (Rework make_usage to print

    +    usage_with_options_internal() through cmd_parseopt().
     
    -    We'll prefix all strings after the first one with "or: ". Then if we
    -    encountered a "" we'll emit all strings after that point verbatim
    -    without any "or: " prefixing.
    -
    -    In the preceding commits we got rid of the two users of this
    -    undocumented part of the API. Let's remove it in preparation for
    -    improving the output emitted by usage_with_options_internal().
    -
    -    I think we might want to use this in the future, but in that case
    -    we'll be much better off with an API that emulates the
    -    non-parse_options() way that git.c does this.
    -
    -    That git.c code uses a separate "git_usage_string" and
    -    "git_more_info_string". See b7d9681974e (Print info about "git help
    -    COMMAND" on git's main usage pages, 2008-06-06). By splitting the two
    -    up we can emit something in the middle, as indeed git.c does.
    -
    -    I'd like our "git <cmd> -h" info to be more helpful, and I'd also like
    -    parse_options() to handle the "git" command itself, because of the
    -    limitations of how this was done in usage_with_options_internal() we
    -    couldn't migrate a caller like git.c to parse_options().
    -
    -    So let's just remove this for now, it has no users, and once we want
    -    to do this again we can simply add another argument to the relevant
    -    functions, or otherwise hook into things so that we can print
    -    something at the end and/or middle.
    -
    -    It's possible that this change introduce breakage somewhere. We'd only
    -    catch these cases at runtime, and the "git rev-parse --parseopt"
    -    command is used by shellscripts, see bac199b7b17 (Update
    -    git-sh-setup(1) to allow transparent use of git-rev-parse --parseopt,
    -    2007-11-04). I've grepped the codebase for "OPTIONS_SPEC",
    -    "char.*\*.*usage\[\]" etc. I'm fairly sure there no outstanding users

In preparation for having continued usage lines properly aligned in
"git <cmd> -h" output, let's have the "[" on the second such lines
align with the "[" on the first line.

In some cases this makes the output worse, because e.g. the "git
ls-remote -h" output had been aligned to account for the extra
whitespace that the usage_with_options_internal() function in
parse-options.c would add.

In other cases such as builtin/stash.c (not changed here), we were
aligned in the C strings, but since that didn't account for the extra
padding in usage_with_options_internal() it would come out looking
misaligned, e.g. code like this:

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"

Would emit:

   or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]

Let's change all the usage arrays which use such continued usage
output via "\n"-embedding to be like builtin/stash.c.

This makes the output worse temporarily, but in a subsequent change
I'll improve the usage_with_options_internal() to take this into
account, at which point all of the strings being changed here will
emit prettier output.

When "send-pack" was changed to use the parse_options() API in
068c77a5189 (builtin/send-pack.c: use parse_options API, 2015-08-19)
it was made to use one very long line, instead it should split them up
with newlines.

Furthermore we were including an inline explanation that you couldn't
combine "--all" and "<ref>", but unlike in the "blame" case this was
not preceded by an empty string.

Let's instead show that --all and <ref> can't be combined in the the
usual language of the usage syntax instead. We can make it clear that
one of the two options "--foo" and "--bar" is mandatory, but that the
two are mutually exclusive by referring to them as "( --foo | --bar
)".

Add tests for the "usagestr" passed to parse-options.c
usage_with_options_internal() through cmd_parseopt().

These test for edge cases in the existing behavior related to the
"--parseopt" interface doing its own line-splitting with
strbuf_getline(), and the native C interface expecting and potentially
needing to handle newlines within the strings in the array it
accepts. The results are probably something that wasn't anticipated,
but let's make sure we stay backwards compatible with it.

Some commands such as "git stash" emit continued options output with
e.g. "git stash -h", because usage_with_options_internal() prefixes
with its own whitespace the resulting output wasn't properly
aligned. Let's account for the added whitespace, which properly aligns
the output.

The "git stash" command has usage output with a N_() translation that
legitimately stretches across multiple lines;

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

We'd like to have that output aligned with the length of the initial
"git stash " output, but since usage_with_options_internal() adds its
own whitespace prefixing we fell short, before this change we'd emit:

    $ git stash -h
    usage: git stash list [<options>]
       or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
              [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
              [...]

Now we'll properly emit aligned output.  I.e. the last four lines
above will instead be (a whitespace-only change to the above):

       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
                     [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
                     [...]

We could also go for an approach where we have the caller support no
padding of their own, i.e. (same as the first example, except for the
padding on the second line):

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

But to do that we'll need to find the length of "git stash". We can
discover that from the "cmd" in the "struct cmd_struct", but there
might cases with sub-commands or "git" itself taking arguments that
would make that non-trivial.

Even if it was I still think this approach is better, because this way
we'll get the same legible alignment in the C code. The fact that
usage_with_options_internal() is adding its own prefix padding is an
implementation detail that callers shouldn't need to worry about.

Implementation notes:

We could skip the string_list_split() with a strchr(str, '\n') check,
but we'd then need to duplicate our state machine for strings that do
and don't contain a "\n". It's simpler to just always split into a
"struct string_list", even though the common case is that that "struct
string_list" will contain only one element. This is not
performance-sensitive code.

This change is relatively more complex since I've accounted for making
it future-proof for RTL translation support. Later in
usage_with_options_internal() we have some existing padding code
dating back to d7a38c54a6c (parse-options: be able to generate usages
automatically, 2007-10-15) which isn't RTL-safe, but that code would
be easy to fix. Let's not introduce new RTL translation problems here.

I re-rolled this in v4 to not change how the function works at all:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v4-0.4-00000000000-20210912T235347Z-avarab@gmail.com/

I do think we're going above & beyond what's reasonable in maintaining
these interfaces, i.e. per 21d47835386 (Add a parseopt mode to
git-rev-parse to bring parse-options to shell scripts., 2007-11-04) I
don't think anyone thought that interface would be used outside of
git.git.

But then perhaps I'm wrong, or it has been, and since we ended up
sticking it in rev-parse which was marked as plumbing we can't change
how it or the underlying C APIs it relies on work.

In practice I doubt it would break things for anyone, but per the result
of the discussion to "remove dead shell code" [1] I don't think I'll get
anywhere with that.

I do think that getting some answer to [2] & how we think about the
likes of "git rev-parse --parseopt" going forward would be very
useful.

I.e. would you be OK with us marking these as deprecated / warn on their
out-of-tree use? If so we could after some time remove a lot of code &
simplify things once the last in-tree shellscript user goes away.

Or if we don't see that they can ever be changed that's also useful to
know (and per [2] I think I'd feel obligated to send in a revert
bringing git-parse-remote back).

"was" -> "were,", I think.

Even though this step has quite a lot of comment strings meant for
human consumption, I didn't hunt for grammos and typos and only
looked at the code.  Somebody else may want to proof-read it.

The new code looked OK.  Do we want to have some new test in
t/helper/test-*.c with fixed "command help string"?

Thanks.

This series changes usage_with_options_internal() in parse-options.c
to properly align continued "\n" usage output.

There's only a very small typo changes in this v5 in response to
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq8s01geov.fsf@gitster.g/; I also
re-read the rest over & spellchecked the comments I added, for
whatever that's worth.

I didn't add a test in t/helper/ as Junio suggested, since it's the
usage message itself it doesn't slot nicely into the control flow of
t/helper/test-run-command.c, we could of course make it work, but I'd
prefer to punt on it.

I think having manually tested the output should do in this
case. I.e. I manually looked at all the "-h" emitted by t0012-help.sh
and it's all nicely formatted now (aside from some overly long lines,
addressing that is left for another day).

In preparation for having continued usage lines properly aligned in
"git <cmd> -h" output, let's have the "[" on the second such lines
align with the "[" on the first line.

In some cases this makes the output worse, because e.g. the "git
ls-remote -h" output had been aligned to account for the extra
whitespace that the usage_with_options_internal() function in
parse-options.c would add.

In other cases such as builtin/stash.c (not changed here), we were
aligned in the C strings, but since that didn't account for the extra
padding in usage_with_options_internal() it would come out looking
misaligned, e.g. code like this:

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"

Would emit:

   or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]

Let's change all the usage arrays which use such continued usage
output via "\n"-embedding to be like builtin/stash.c.

This makes the output worse temporarily, but in a subsequent change
I'll improve the usage_with_options_internal() to take this into
account, at which point all of the strings being changed here will
emit prettier output.

When "send-pack" was changed to use the parse_options() API in
068c77a5189 (builtin/send-pack.c: use parse_options API, 2015-08-19)
it was made to use one very long line, instead it should split them up
with newlines.

Furthermore we were including an inline explanation that you couldn't
combine "--all" and "<ref>", but unlike in the "blame" case this was
not preceded by an empty string.

Let's instead show that --all and <ref> can't be combined in the the
usual language of the usage syntax instead. We can make it clear that
one of the two options "--foo" and "--bar" is mandatory, but that the
two are mutually exclusive by referring to them as "( --foo | --bar
)".

Add tests for the "usagestr" passed to parse-options.c
usage_with_options_internal() through cmd_parseopt().

These test for edge cases in the existing behavior related to the
"--parseopt" interface doing its own line-splitting with
strbuf_getline(), and the native C interface expecting and potentially
needing to handle newlines within the strings in the array it
accepts. The results are probably something that wasn't anticipated,
but let's make sure we stay backwards compatible with it.

	Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason

Some commands such as "git stash" emit continued options output with
e.g. "git stash -h", because usage_with_options_internal() prefixes
with its own whitespace the resulting output wasn't properly
aligned. Let's account for the added whitespace, which properly aligns
the output.

The "git stash" command has usage output with a N_() translation that
legitimately stretches across multiple lines;

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "          [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

We'd like to have that output aligned with the length of the initial
"git stash " output, but since usage_with_options_internal() adds its
own whitespace prefixing we fell short, before this change we'd emit:

    $ git stash -h
    usage: git stash list [<options>]
       or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
              [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
              [...]

Now we'll properly emit aligned output.  I.e. the last four lines
above will instead be (a whitespace-only change to the above):

       [...]
       or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
                     [-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
                     [...]

We could also go for an approach where we have the caller support no
padding of their own, i.e. (same as the first example, except for the
padding on the second line):

	N_("git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]\n"
	   "[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]\n"
           [...]

But to do that we'll need to find the length of "git stash". We can
discover that from the "cmd" in the "struct cmd_struct", but there
might be cases with sub-commands or "git" itself taking arguments that
would make that non-trivial.

Even if it were I still think this approach is better, because this way
we'll get the same legible alignment in the C code. The fact that
usage_with_options_internal() is adding its own prefix padding is an
implementation detail that callers shouldn't need to worry about.

Implementation notes:

We could skip the string_list_split() with a strchr(str, '\n') check,
but we'd then need to duplicate our state machine for strings that do
and don't contain a "\n". It's simpler to just always split into a
"struct string_list", even though the common case is that that "struct
string_list" will contain only one element. This is not
performance-sensitive code.

This change is relatively more complex since I've accounted for making
it future-proof for RTL translation support. Later in
usage_with_options_internal() we have some existing padding code
dating back to d7a38c54a6c (parse-options: be able to generate usages
automatically, 2007-10-15) which isn't RTL-safe, but that code would
be easy to fix. Let's not introduce new RTL translation problems here.
