In the end, I went for a different solution (more similar to yours), see
r18683. If analyze_revs needs a bidirectional flag, it should declare it
among its parameters, not rely on the global settings. The global opts
dictionary is a relic of the straightforward conversion from the shell
script, and should be removed. Ideally, each action_*() function would get
its opts dictionary as an argument.

Thanks!
