Sounds good. I'll incorporate this patch into my next version,
except it seems you dropped this test:

diff --git a/t/t5521-pull-options.sh b/t/t5521-pull-options.sh
index 159afa7ac8..db1a381cd9 100755
--- a/t/t5521-pull-options.sh
+++ b/t/t5521-pull-options.sh

        mkdir clonedoldstyle &&

which I changed "test_must_fail" to "test_expect_code 129" to
demonstrate that this is a usage error, not just any error.

Thanks,
