commit-tree: utilize parse-options api
Rather than parse options manually, which is both difficult to read and error prone, parse options supplied to commit-tree using the parse-options api. It was discovered that the --no-gpg-sign option was documented but not implemented in commit 70ddbd7767 (commit-tree: add missing --gpg-sign flag, 2019-01-19), and the existing implementation would attempt to translate the option as a tree oid. It was also suggested earlier in commit 55ca3f99ae (commit-tree: add and document --no-gpg-sign, 2013-12-13) that commit-tree should be migrated to utilize the parse-options api, which could help prevent mistakes like this in the future. Hence this change. Also update the documentation to better describe that mixing `-m` and `-F` options will correctly compose commit log messages in the order in which the options are given. In the process, mark various strings for translation. Signed-off-by: Brandon Richardson <brandon1024.br@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
