dispatch: convert non-list option parsed by _earlygetopt() to string So we can easily compare it with the corresponding getopt() result. There's a minor behavior change. Before, "hg --cwd ''" failed with ENOENT. But with this patch, an empty cwd is silently ignored. "hg -R ''" has always worked as such, so -R has no BC.

dispatch: add option to not strip command args parsed by _earlygetopt() This allows us to parse the original args later by full-blown getopt() in order to verify the result of the faulty early parsing. Still we need the 'strip=True' behavior for shell aliases. Note that this series is RFC because it seems to change too much to be included in stable release.

dispatch: fix early parsing of short option with value like -R=foo Before, -R=foo was parsed as '-R' 'foo', which disagrees with the standard getopt behavior.

dispatch: abort if early boolean options can't be parsed Perhaps we'll need to restrict the parsing rules of --debugger and --profile, where this patch will help us know why the --debugger option doesn't work. I have another series to extend this feature to --config/--cwd/-R, but even with that, shell aliases can be used to get around the restriction.
