Grammar nit: I believe it should be "or" and not "nor".

There is an implicit "either", as in "can't be used with either --all or --mirror". Saying "can't be used with neither --all nor --mirror" would be a double-negative. The alternative correct single-negation would be "can be used with neither --all nor --mirror".
