parse-options: allow positivation of options starting, with no-
Long options can be negated by adding no- right after the leading
two dashes. This is useful e.g. to override options set by aliases.
For options that are defined to start with no- already, this looks
a bit funny. Allow such options to also be negated by removing the
prefix.
The following thirteen options are affected:
apply --no-add
bisect--helper --no-checkout
checkout-index --no-create
clone --no-checkout --no-hardlinks
commit --no-verify --no-post-rewrite
format-patch --no-binary
hash-object --no-filters
read-tree --no-sparse-checkout
revert --no-commit
show-branch --no-name
update-ref --no-deref
The following five are NOT affected because they are defined with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG or the non-negated version is defined as well:
branch --no-merged
format-patch --no-stat --no-numbered
update-index --no-assume-unchanged --no-skip-worktree
