The above description is unclear if the version of git will error out when
given --cumulative or --dirstat-by-file. I can sort of guess by lack of
removed lines from the documentation, but please do not make readers guess.
Also a miniscule style nitpick: could you indent your bulletted-list just
a bit (one space indent is just fine)?

These "arguments" feel more like "options" (or "parameters"), no? Your
code in diff.c also calls it "opt". The second line of the proposed log

So the later one wins? I.e. --dirstat=cumulative,noncumulative from the
command line (which seems silly), or more importantly with
[alias]
dstat = diff --dirstat=cumulative
and you can say "git dstat --dirstat=noncumulative A..B"?

I understand you wanted to reuse the while() loop below, but I do not
think it is worth it. Isn't it easier to read if you handled the above
cases in their if/else body and return?
if (--cumulative) {
options->output_format |= DIFF_FORMAT_DIRSTAT;
DIFF_OPT_SET(options, DIRSTAT_CUMULATIVE);
return 1;
}
if (--dirstat-by-file) {
options->output_format |= DIFF_FORMAT_DIRSTAT;
DIFF_OPT_SET(options, DIRSTAT_BY_FILE);
return 1;
}
...
Even better, probably they can be left to diff_opt_parse() without calling
this function, as you are deprecating them and do not have to allow them
to take the opt1,opt2,... form of parameter.

Don't you need to cast (p-arg) for %lu from ptrdiff type here? It
probably is more common to say s/index/char/;

We tend to write postincrement when there is no strong reason to do
otherwise.

That's a senseless assert(), isn't it?
You already know the first letter is a digit, so assert(p < end) will
always be true. You may want to check that this particular option is all
digit by checking (*end == '\0' || *end == ',') but that is done at the
beginning of this loop anyway, so I don't think there is anything to check
here.

The function parses dirstat_OPT, but this says argument?
