I forgot this in my previous patch `--pathspec-from-file` for
`git commit` [1]. When both `--pathspec-from-file` and `--all` were
specified, `--all` took precedence and `--pathspec-from-file` was
ignored. Before `--pathspec-from-file` was implemented, this case was
prevented by this check in `parse_and_validate_options()` :
die(_("paths '%s ...' with -a does not make sense"), argv[0]);
It is unfortunate that these two cases are disconnected. This came as
result of how the code was laid out before my patches, where `pathspec`
is parsed outside of `parse_and_validate_options()`. This branch is
already full of refactoring patches and I did not dare to go for another
one.
Fix by mirroring `die()` for `--pathspec-from-file` as well.
