[PATCH v4] rev-list: refuse --first-parent combined with --bisect

From
Kevin Daudt <me@ikke.info>
Date

rev-list --bisect is used by git bisect, but never together with --first-parent. Because rev-list --bisect together with --first-parent is not handled currently, and even leads to segfaults, refuse to use both options together.

Changes since v3:
* Added an ifdef::git-rev-list[] guard around the warning in the
  --first-parent section so that it only shows up in `man git-rev-list`
  and not in `man git log`
* Added the warning also to the --bisect section.
