From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2018 06:43:44 GMT Subject: [PATCH 10/13] cat-file: report an error on multiple --batch options Message-ID: <20181105064344.GJ25864@sigill.intra.peff.net> In-Reply-To: <20181105063718.GA24877@sigill.intra.peff.net> The options callback for --batch and --batch-check detects when the two mutually incompatible options are used. But it simply returns an error code to parse-options, meaning the program will quit without any kind of message to the user. Instead, let's use error() to print something and return -1. Note that this flips the error return from 1 to -1, but negative values are more idiomatic here (and parse-options treats them the same).
