Yep, (B) sounds good! Junio in one of the previous mails stated that
this thing will need to be done for all subcommands when the shell
script is to be demolished i.e., `git submodule` becomes a builtin
completely. Actually, vrious usages might need to be fixed, for many
subcommands because almost none of them have any info about the
shorthand usages of options in their `options` array.
