Description Inge Wallin cendio 2009-06-03 09:26:21 CEST 
When the user types 

hivetool -Ra /

he gets a nice list of all parameters.  But if he types

hivetool -aR /

he gets a "usage" error message.  However, the usage text doesn't show why the above line is wrong.  The issue turns out to be that -a needs a parameter ("/" in this case), and that's not documented in the --help.

This got fixed in r40859 for bug 7889. Note that we forgot to fix the man page, but we already have bug 8425 for that.
