Since I'm considering adding new functionality -- more git compatibility
-- new command-line switches and options will be needed. For greater
flexibility and self-documentation, let's allow long options as well as
short options -- which implies the replacement suggested in the Subject
line.
No existing combinations of command-line switches/options should cease
to function. Long options and mixed options will have to be tested.
The Usage message will have to be revised to reflect the possibility of
using long options. Documentation may need to be revised as well.
Currently under development in the getopt-long-20180506 branch.
