This commit message should say something more than just "change x", it
should have some words about what it is change from or to.  I think
the thrust of the patch is allowing --ff-only, --merge, and --rebase
to countermand an earlier otherwise-conflicting option.  Perhaps a
commit message of the form:

In git, we sometimes allow conflicting command line options with the
last one winning, e.g.
  git log --patch --no-patch
  git log --no-patch --patch
other times we just error out when conflicting options are given, e.g.
  git checkout -b --orphan NEWBRANCH
  git checkout --orphan -b NEWBRANCH
Previously, we did neither with --no-ff, --merge, and --rebase.
Change these options to have a last-one-wins behavior.


(Although, after writing this out, I wonder if we want to die with a
conflict message instead of going the route I suggested yesterday.
I'm not certain if one is better than the other, but worth
considering.  Thoughts?)

You're missing a hyphen there; it should be --ff-only.

What about --ff-only and --rebase?  Are there already tests for those?
