Description Maxime Daniel CLA 2005-05-25 13:16:21 EDT 
As of M7, the message for a duplicate output directory argument would be:
duplicate output path specification: -d
A more complete message, including the faulty argument, would be more useful.
For example,
-d bin1 -d bin2 
would yield:
duplicate output path specification: -d bin2
The options cited in the summary are candidates for the same improvement.

Trivial to fix.
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2006-03-31 12:51:41 EST 
The duplicate entry would be reported.
Comment 3 Olivier Thomann CLA 2006-04-04 16:19:54 EDT 
Fixed and released in HEAD.
Updated existing test in BatchCompilerTests.
