A more precise way to say this is:
die(_("--branch and --default are mutually exclusive"));
Will that be clear to everyone? What I mean is maybe a person from a
non-mathematical background (someone doing programming as a hobby maybe)
will not grasp at this at one go and will have to search it's meaning
online. Isn't it fine as-is?
While "mutually exclusive" might be prominently used in mathematics. I
don't think it is only understandable by people with a mathematical
background.
Moreover, I see 183 results in 36 files for "mutually exclusive" in
git.git (including translation files). So, this isn't anything new.
I agree with Eric's suggestion. It makes the error message concise which
is a nice side benefit.
