The way this is worded, it sounds as if the --literally option itself
is printing some sort of additional information beyond what -s or -t
outputs. In fact, it merely allows -s and -t to work with
broken/corrupt objects. Perhaps rephrase something like this?
Allow -s or -t to query broken or corrupt objects of
unknown type.
