--root implies we want to rebase all commits since the beginning of
history.  --fork-point means we want to use the reflog of the specified
upstream to find the best common ancestor between <upstream> and
<branch> and only rebase commits since that common ancestor.  These
options are clearly contradictory, so throw an error (instead of
segfaulting on a NULL pointer) if both are specified.

The patch is fairly obvious and looks good to me.

The documentation must be updated, too, since it does not mention the
incompatibility between the two switches:
