Please describe the problem.

AFAIK --all option for whereis is "incompatible" with operation on keys, so git-annex does still error out on --all --key KEY:

$> git annex whereis --json --json-error-messages --key MD5E-s5663237--4608ffbd6b78ce3a325eb338fa556589.nii.gz --all             
Invalid option `--all'
...

but it does not error out if I specify --all with --batch-keys:

$> git annex whereis --json --json-error-messages  --all --batch-keys          
MD5E-s5663237--4608ffbd6b78ce3a325eb338fa556589.nii.gz

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
