[PATCH] show-branch: disallow --no-{date,topo}-order

Since 57343652a5 (show-branch: migrate to parse-options API, 2009-05-21) git show-branch has accepted --no-date-order and --no-topo-order, but both mean the same as --topo-order. That's because they are defined using OPT_SET_INT, which sets the value to 0 for negated options, and the value of REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER happens to be 0 as well.

Ordering chronologically or topologically is not a binary choice in principle; we could add e.g. an option to sort alphabetically. So negating a sort order option makes no sense conceptually. Forbid it.
