Thanks for a pleasant read.  Modulo minor readability nits I sent
separately on 7/7, this looked good.

A tangent that we may want to think about after this series lands
and dust settles is to make test-parse-options simpler to use.  I
see many instances of this repeated:

        cat >expect <<\EOF
        boolean: 0
        integer: 0
        magnitude: 0
        timestamp: 0
        string: (not set)
        abbrev: 7
        verbose: 0
        quiet: 3
        dry run: no
        file: (not set)
        EOF

        test_expect_success 'multiple quiet levels' '
                test-parse-options -q -q -q >output 2>output.err &&
                test_must_be_empty output.err &&
                test_cmp expect output
        '

But the only thing this test cares about is if "quiet: 3" is in the
output.  I think we should be able to write the above 18 lines with
just four lines, like this:

        test_expect_success 'multiple quiet levels' '
                test-parse-options --expect="quiet: 3" -q -q -q
        '

There may be a handful of tests that care about more than one
variable, and the current output format must be used when the
new --expect option is not given, but I suspect that the majority of
tests would want the concise form.
