A previous commit changed `git replay` to make it accept standard
revision ranges using the setup_revisions() function. While this is a
good thing to make this command more standard and more flexible, it has
the downside of enabling many revision related options accepted and eaten
by setup_revisions().
Some of these options might make sense, but others, like those
generating non-contiguous history, might not. Anyway those we might want
to allow should probably be tested and perhaps documented a bit, which
could be done in future work.
For now it is just simpler and safer to just disallow all of them, so
let's do that.
Other commands, like `git fast-export`, currently allow all these
revision specific options even though some of them might not make sense,
as these commands also use setup_revisions() but do not check the
options that might be passed to this function.
So a way to fix those commands as well as git replay could be to improve
or refactor the setup_revisions() mechanism to let callers allow and
disallow options in a relevant way for them. Such improvements are
outside the scope of this work though.
Pathspecs, which are also accepted and eaten by setup_revisions(), are
likely to result in disconnected history. That could perhaps be useful,
but that would need tests and documentation, which can be added in
future work. So, while at it, let's disallow them too.
