I think it's expected to work under the usual last-one-wins option
parsing. A more subtle case is that:

  git tag -l -d foo

would override "-l" with "-d". That's reasonable under the same rule as
long as the user knows that the two are mode-selectors. I don't think we
make that explicit in the documentation, though, so perhaps it isn't
something users should rely on.

Yup, that is reasonable.

Oops.  I meant "two are mode-selectors and can override with the
usual last one wins rule" was reasonable.  As Ævar says, this is an
established practice and may already be documented sufficiently.
