Intended behaviour of help text for --help?

Hi,

I am wondering if the following is intended:

$ svn info -m ""
Subcommand 'info' doesn't accept option '-m [--message] arg'
Type 'svn help info' for usage.

$ svn info -m "" --help
Subcommand 'help' doesn't accept option '-m [--message] arg'
Type 'svn help help' for usage.

IMHO the second command should result in something like
"Option 'help' mustn't be combined with other options"

BTW, in the following, a bit different, situation the message
seems to be okay:

$ svn help info -m " "
Subcommand 'help' doesn't accept option '-m [--message] arg'
Type 'svn help help' for usage.

Mathias
