-- >8 -- [PATCH] Clean-up read-tree error condition.

This is a follow-up to f34f2b0b; list_tree() function is where it first notices that the command line fed too many trees for us to handle, so move the error exit message to there, and raise the MAX_TREES to 8 (not that it matters very much in practice).
