parse-options: prefer opt->value to globals in callbacks We have several parse-options callbacks that ignore their "opt" parameters entirely. This is a little unusual, as we'd normally put the result of the parsing into opt->value. In the case of these callbacks, though, they directly manipulate global variables instead (and in most cases the caller sets opt->value to NULL in the OPT_CALLBACK declaration). The immediate symptom we'd like to deal with is that the unused "opt" variables trigger -Wunused-parameter. But how to fix that is debatable. One option is to annotate them with UNUSED. But another is to have the caller pass in the appropriate variable via opt->value, and use it. That has the benefit of making the callbacks reusable (in theory at least), and makes it clear from the OPT_CALLBACK declaration which variables will be affected (doubly so for the cases in builtin/fast-export.c, where we do set opt->value, but it is completely ignored!). The slight downside is that we lose type safety, since they're now passing through void pointers. I went with the "just use them" approach here. The loss of type safety is unfortunate, but that is already an issue with most of the other callbacks. If we want to try to address that, we should do so more consistently (and this patch would prepare these callbacks for whatever we choose to do there). Note that in the cases in builtin/fast-export.c, we are passing anonymous enums. We'll have to give them names so that we can declare the appropriate pointer type within the callbacks.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
