[PATCH] rev-parse: Detect missing opt-spec

["Øystein Walle" <oystwa@gmail.com>]

If a line in parseopts's input starts with one of the flag characters it
is erroneously parsed as a opt-spec where the short name of the option
is the flag character itself and the long name is after the end of the
string. This makes Git want to allocate SIZE_MAX bytes of memory at this
line:

    o->long_name = xmemdupz(sb.buf + 2, s - sb.buf - 2);

Since s and sb.buf are equal the second argument is -2 (except unsigned)
and xmemdupz allocates len + 1 bytes, ie. -1 meaning SIZE_MAX.

Avoid this by checking whether a flag character was found in the zeroth
position.
