sync-all: END actions result in confusing error message
The instructions at Newcomers were slightly outdated, and result in a rather confusing error message:
$ ./sync-all --testsuite get
Unrecognised flag: --testsuite at ./sync-all line 872.
== Checking for old haddock repo
== Checking for old binary repo
== Checking for old mtl repo
== Checking for old Cabal repo
== Checking for old time from tarball
============================
ATTENTION!
You have an old time package in your GHC tree!
Please remove it (e.g. "rm -r libraries/time"), and then run
"./sync-all get" to get the new repository.
============================
== Checking for obsolete Git repo URL
$The patch suppresses the misleading error message. I've already removed the --testsuite flag from the wiki page.
