It's something I was torn on. I ultimately chose to die though because
of the difference between `--exclude` and `--exclude-hidden`: the former
one will happily add additional patterns, all of which will ultimately
be ignored. So as a user you might rightfully expect that the latter
will work the same: if both `--exclude-hidden=uploadpack` and
`--exclude-hidden=receive` are specified, you might want to have both be
ignored.
To me it wasn't quite clear how to support multiple instances of
`transfer.hideRefs` though as there is also the concept of un-hiding
already-hidden refs. So I wanted to avoid going into this discussion to
make the patch series a little bit smaller.
By dying instead of silently overriding the previous argument we retain
the ability to iterate on this at a later point though to implement
above behaviour, if the usecase ever arises.
