-The ``--optimize`` argument is experimental and runs the generated pipeline
-document through a series of optimization passes designed to reduce the size
-of the generated file.

-The ``--dependencies`` is also experimental and disables what in Gitlab is
-referred to as DAG scheduling, internally using the ``dependencies`` keyword
-rather than ``needs`` to list dependency jobs.  The drawback of using this option
-is that before any job can begin, all jobs in previous stages must first
-complete.  The benefit is that Gitlab allows more dependencies to be listed
-when using ``dependencies`` instead of ``needs``.

 The optional ``--output-file`` argument should be an absolute path (including
 file name) to the generated pipeline, and if not given, the default is
 ``./.gitlab-ci.yml``.
