OK, a hopefully final question. How much less involved is it to add a new code (without doing anything in this patch) to detect and die on the combination of combined-diff with these two options, so that we can document the fact that we do not support them? It would give us much better way forward than leaving the command silently ignore and give result that is not in line with what was asked, wouldn't it? That way, the much more involved "fix" will turn into a change to add a missing feature. Thanks.
