The options callback for "git apply --no-include" is not ready to handle
the "unset" parameter, and as a result will segfault when it adds a NULL
argument to the include list (likewise for "--no-exclude").

In theory this might be used to clear the list, but since both
"--include" and "--exclude" add to the same list, it's not immediately
obvious what the semantics should be. Let's punt on that for now and
just disallow the broken options.

Thanks.  I agree with the conclusion to leave it to later outside
this series to define what --no-(include|exclude) should do.

I suspect something along the lines of

    Each element on the single list is marked as either include or
    exclude, and "--no-include" would remove the accumulated
    "include" entries in the list without touching any "exclude"
    elements.

would be sufficiently clear and useful, perhaps.
