Please describe the problem.
If I run git annex adjust --hide-missing --unlock, that works. If I run git annex adjust --unlock --hide-missing, that tells me "Invalid option '--hide-missing'" and prints the whole list of git-annex commands (which itself makes it hard to see the more useful error). I would expect that the order of the options doesn't matter, and if it does, I'd get a git annex adjust specific usage message.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
$ git annex adjust --unlock --hide-missing
Invalid option `--hide-missing'
Usage: git-annex COMMAND
[...]
$ git annex adjust --hide-missing --unlock
git-annex: Not in a git repository.
(Yes, I've also tried this in a git repo. That doesn't seem to change the error the first (IMO buggy) command gives, though obviously the second command gives different results.)

Same behavior occurs in git annex 10.20230926 with Nix-On-Droid (https://git-annex.branchable.com/Android/#index2h2) (which is where I actually want to use this, but is harder to file a bug from).
Please provide any additional information below.
This is admittedly arguably consistent with https://git-annex.branchable.com/git-annex-adjust/, which suggests git annex adjust --unlock|--lock|--fix|--hide-missing [--unlock|--lock|--fix]|--unlock-present as the syntax (notably with --unlock after --hide-missing), but it's pretty unusual for a Linux command, and even if the decision is made to have one order be an error, the error message should be easier to understand.
Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Yes, I've been really happy using it to manage a bunch of videos, where I only need some on my laptop at any given time. Way better than my previous "manually scp things around" strategy.
