Hello

Simple patch and looks good, just one very minor about this comment:

 /* reject conflicting "-only" options */

I would either remove the comment or the "-only" part, as that's no longer true.
(I see that it was there earlier in the later if, and it was similarly
incorrect. So this is not new with the patch, but still seems wrong)

Commits

  1. pg_{dump,restore}: Refactor handling of conflicting options.
