‘--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.

Fixed in 373e7ac4f9d510d3a58fcdbe9ec2d67eb426336b!  Now the two options
work together.

Thanks,
