I have to agree that these slightly often changes in the command line
options are confusing for the users and not really obvious what purpose
they serve (another example was the removal of the passwd option).
I agree that are minor things, but a consistency on the command line
interface would have been desirable, or at least keep backwards
compatibility.
that's just my thoughts.

Also the commit message is wrong (dbpath => dbfarm): http://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=6ce49316d14f
