Subject: bug#49697: ‘--with-patch’ silently fails when combined with ‘--with-commit’

‘--with-patch’ silently does nothing when combined with ‘--with-commit’
and related options, as in:

  guix build guile-gcrypt --with-branch=guile-gcrypt=master \
    --with-patch=guile-gcrypt=README

It should at least warn when it does nothing.  Better yet would be to
make it work together with these options.
