According to the suggestion of the new location I think why not put the logic further head, after the parse_options() return, like: diff --git a/builtin/ls-tree.c b/builtin/ls-tree.c index 1f82229649..003a9ade54 100644 --- a/builtin/ls-tree.c +++ b/builtin/ls-tree.c @@ -166,6 +166,10 @@ int cmd_ls_tree(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, ls_tree_options, ls_tree_usage, 0); + + if ((ls_options & LS_NAME_ONLY) && (ls_options & LS_OID_ONLY)) + die(_("cannot specify --oid-only and --name-only at the same time")); + if (full_tree) { ls_tree_prefix = prefix = NULL; chomp_prefix = 0; Will it bring other new problems? Thank you.
