Document that providing any of -c, -C, -F and --fixup along with -m will result in an error. Some variant of this has been errored about explicitly since 0c091296c0 ("git-commit: log parameter updates.", 2005-08-08), but the documentation was never updated to reflect this.

This sounds a bit scary, as if there is something wrong with Git.
Perhaps say instead that they are "mutually exclusive":
The `-m` option is mutually exclusive with `-c`, `-C`, `-F`, and
`--fixup`.
Or something.
