* [PATCH] Make -p flag optional from commit-tree.

  To: Linus Torvalds; +Cc: git

We cannot currently say:

 $ commit-tree $(write-tree) $(cat .git/heads/junio .git/heads/linus)

The above must be written as:

 $ commit-tree $(write-tree) \
     -p $(cat .git/heads/junio) \
     -p $(cat .git/heads/linus)

This patch makes -p flag optional.  Existing scripts are
hopefully not affected because they are passing -p properly.  If
we want to introduce non parent-ID parameters to commit-tree
later, we can give them their own -flag letters.
