Add a documentation note about a limitation: You can't pass flags as values to flags (#303).

@@ -538,6 +538,12 @@ the `--list` flag that's only present on particular actions. Similarly with

`progress` and `--progress`, `statistics` and `--stats`, and `match_archives`

and `--match-archives`.

Also note that if you want to pass a command-line flag itself as a value to one
|
||||
of these override flags, that may not work. For instance, specifying
|
||||
`--extra-borg-options.create --no-cache-sync` results in an error, because
|
||||
`--no-cache-sync` gets interpreted as a borgmatic option (which in this case
|

doesn't exist) rather than a Borg option.

|

An alternate to command-line overrides is passing in your values via
